Patchouli
Patchouli is a deeply spiced, thickly herbal and immediately recognizable note - it’s “dirty hippie” reputation doesn’t do it justice. Patchouli’s scent lies somewhere between cumin’s sharp and acrid tang and nutmeg’s smooth, sweet warmth, and it can carry a fragrance or blend easily with other, spicier notes. It is ideal in heated, spicy perfumes that feature leather, smoke, resins, and lighter aromatic notes like lavender and geranium. Patchouli’s exotic strength can be an acquired taste in perfume, but it’s many moods and blends make it an endlessly fascinating note to explore in the spicy end of the scent spectrum.

A rare variety, this white cocoa grows in the heart of the oldest plantations, in Piura, north-west Peru. Extracted by hand from the pods, the beans are fermented before being sun-dried and roasted.
In order to capture the most beautiful facets of this white cocoa, the perfumer collaborated with a French Maître Chocolatier to obtain the perfect roasting, thus revealing sensual nutty and milky notes, with Tonka bean undertone.
After a sweet rum opening, the perfumer Marie Hugentobler unveils the addictive bitterness of the cocoa, comforted by powdery and woody notes. A dry down of light tobacco, patchouli and sandalwood follows, giving CACAO PORCELANA its sensual and unique signature.

“In the fragrance industry, we refer to the liquid in the bottle as 'juice.' So to me, juice is the most powerful form of self-expression. Juice+ Bold is even more explosive and colorful with an opening of jammy dark fruits and boozy Davana Flower. A touch of burnt sugar creates a rich, addictive intensity. If Expressive is the older sibling who leads the way, Bold is the louder second sibling who always speaks their mind."—Nathalie Benareau

Moss+ Bold is enhanced with fresh Bergamot combined with crisp Eucalyptus leaves for a feeling of natural freshness. The combination of earthy Oakmoss, rich Woods, and the power of Patchouli adds depth while taking you right through the woods and connects you right with nature."—Donna Ramanauskas
