Patch Absolue
Patch Absolue by Tauer Perfumes is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with spices, cinnamon and clove, moves into patchouli, white flowers and benzoin and dries down to patchouli, vanilla, amber and sandalwood. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Spices Warm spice with no single spice named.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
Heart
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- White Flowers A blend of creamy white petals rather than one named flower.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
