The Patchouli is an essence with a great olfactory charge, with a dry, earthy, intense smell.
It gives sensuality, depth and incisiveness.
The first famous woman to love it, apparently for its aphrodisiac properties, was Poppea, wife of Nero.
In recent times it has been the symbol of a revolutionary generation.
That of Hippies.
In Patchouli Sauvage we find a Patchouli with all these characteristics, intense, slightly sparkling at the beginning thanks to the bergamot, but then totally itself, intensified by the labdanum, the dried fruits and the woods.
Without compromise it is the absolute protagonist.
I find it one of the most successful interpretations of this note, truly beautiful.
Not one painting, but many masterpieces: the frescoes of the villa of Poppea in Oplontis, at the time a suburban area of Pompeii.
