Patchouli 24
Patchouli 24 by Le Labo is an unisex eau de parfum from 2006 in the niche price tier. It opens with birch tar, smoke and styrax, moves into patchouli and leather and dries down to vanilla, benzoin and musk. Expect around 12 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Birch Tar Smoked, tarry and campfire-like. The classic way to build leather.
- Smoke Charred and dry. Adds drama fast.
- Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
Heart
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
