As a material, patchouli is earthy and dry, its initial hit of deep fruitiness billowing out to a dark, leathery haze tinged with chocolate. In Double Patchouli, these attributes are heightened by the use of Indonesian patchouli harvested from two different terroirs, resulting in a surround sound effect infused with amber and musk. Double Patchouli’s journey on the skin has many stops, from hot buttered rum, to warm leather, to herbaceous dust, before arriving at its destination of enveloping mystery.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
A close conversation after coming in from the cold: wool still on your shoulders, the room gradually warming around you. Double Patchouli’s earthy dryness and warm leather facets give that intimate setting a substantial, slightly untamed presence, softened rather than polished by amber and musk.
How to wear
Start with one or two sprays on skin beneath clothing, letting body warmth develop the patchouli’s darker facets. Its dense woody character lends itself to cooler weather; in warm conditions, apply more sparingly so the amber-and-musk warmth does not dominate a shared space.
Who it’s for
For patchouli enthusiasts who enjoy the material’s earthy, herbal and cocoa-like facets rather than a bright or freshly scrubbed interpretation. It suits tastes drawn to substantial woods, leathery textures and amber warmth, with patchouli remaining firmly at the centre.

The nose
Pierre Guillaume is a French perfumer known for compositions that explore texture, pairing woody and aromatic materials with gourmand warmth. The creator behind Parfumerie Générale and artistic director of Phaedon, he brings that material-focused approach to Double Patchouli, revealing several contrasting facets of its central ingredient.
Phaedon Paris’s story
Phaedon approaches perfume as a form of travel, drawing on scent memories, ancient cultures and exchanges between Mediterranean and Asian worlds. Its botanical imagery and baroque naturalism frame compositions by guest perfumers, while French production and in-house workshops keep the emphasis on craftsmanship rather than luxury spectacle.
Double Patchouli’s concept
Double Patchouli explores two Indonesian patchouli essences from terroirs between Bali and Florès, blended like grape varieties. Their contrasting qualities bring out the material’s woody warmth, herbal dryness and cocoa nuances, with amber and musk providing a softer surround.
Extra info
The name refers to two patchouli materials, not a doubling of concentration: Double Patchouli is an eau de toilette. Its cocoa impression is a facet of patchouli itself rather than a separately declared principal note.
