This is an unusual treatment of patchouli that highlights its fresh earthiness with the addition of sparkling pink peppercorn, biting ginger and zesty citrus. Vegetal tea leaf twins with patchouli’s “clean dirt” appeal, summoning an intriguing tannic twang.
Perfumer: Corinne Cachen
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The unhurried hour after a workout and a shower, when the body is still warm but the pace has slowed. Ginger and citrus keep the impression alert, while tea and earthy patchouli lend a dry, tactile sensuality that suits close conversation.
How to wear
The citrus, tea and spicy freshness suggest spring and moderately warm weather. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms, leaving room for the earthy base to emerge. In warmer conditions, apply lightly so the pepper and ginger remain accents rather than the focus.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy patchouli’s earthy texture but prefer brightness to sweetness or density. Particularly appealing to lovers of dry tea notes, peppery citrus and aromatic woods, with a savory rather than gourmand sense of spice.
Release year
2021
The nose
Corinne Cachen. For Patchouli Baie Rose, she explores patchouli’s fresher side, setting its earthy character against citrus, lively spices and green tea rather than emphasizing its darker, heavier facets.
Collaborators
Founder Valérie Madrid develops the house’s fragrance concepts in collaboration with its perfumers, providing the material-and-spice creative framework within which Corinne Cachen composed Patchouli Baie Rose.
La Closerie’s story
La Closerie des Parfums pairs prized perfume materials with spices, using each to reveal unexpected facets of the other. Its identity connects the sensory intimacy of French gardens with founder Valérie Madrid’s Bordeaux roots and the city’s history of wine and spice trading.
Patchouli Baie Rose’s concept
Patchouli Baie Rose accompanied the house’s expansion from rose and oud into patchouli and iris. Conceived as a light-filled, refreshing interpretation of patchouli, it uses pink pepper, ginger and citrus for brightness, with tea leaf drawing out the material’s green, earthy character.
Extra info
Baie Rose refers to pink pepper, not rose flower: the composition lists no rose note. The fragrance has also appeared under the longer name Zeste Patchouli Baie Rose.
