Patiala

Patiala by Thameen is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with geranium, sweet orange and aldehydes, moves into orange blossom, rose and patchouli and dries down to oakmoss, amber and musk. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
Aldehydes Fizzy, soapy, slightly waxy. The 'sparkle' at the top of Chanel No. 5.

Heart

Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.

Dry-down

Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
