Patchouli presents a complex, multifaceted aroma that is profoundly earthy, woody, and often described as damp or loamy, reminiscent of rich soil after rain. It possesses a dark, slightly sweet undertone that can lean towards chocolatey or even wine-like nuances, particularly in aged oils. There is frequently a distinct, almost minty or camphoraceous facet, especially in younger or less refined extracts, which adds a sharp, penetrating quality. The texture it evokes is velvety, dense, and grounding. Its intensity is significant, capable of dominating a composition if not handled skillfully. Patchouli is a classic base note, exhibiting low volatility and exceptional longevity, often lingering on the skin or fabric for days. It projects moderately but creates a deep, resonant sillage. While initially potentially sharp or medicinal, it typically mellows beautifully over time, becoming smoother, richer, and more integrated into the skin's warmth.
