Description

On Nosy Be, 8 miles north-west of Madagascar, enchanting fragrances permeate the island air, welcoming travellers with the heady scent of Ylang Ylang flowers. It is in the shade of this shelter-giving plant that the wonderful story of Patchouli Nosy Be begins.

Grown in India, Malaysia and Myanmar, Patchouli thrives in the undergrowth away from direct sunlight. It has acclimatised well to the thick vegetation of Nosy Be, thanks to the efforts of growers who love and respect their land. Nature has rewarded them: Nosy Be Patchouli is simply fabulous, with hints of Bitter Chocolate and Sandalwood.


Notes: Top notes are Lemon, Patchouli and Pink Pepper; middle notes are Cacao and Labdanum; base notes are Patchouli, Vanilla, Musk, Sandalwood, Amber and Cedar.

Release Date: 2014

Longevity and layering

Did you know that fragrance longevity can be greatly increased by beginning your routine with clean, moisturized skin? We recommend starting with a shower gel or soap that is either neutrally scented or in the same scent family as your perfume. Then, add a moisturizer and/or body oil and allow it to soak in. Finally, add your fragrance on top. This added moisture barrier will hold the scent molecules for more time, allowing the fragrance to last longer. Think of it as a primer for perfume!
You can also layer scented products (including lotion, soap, body oil, perfume oil, and other alcohol-based perfumes) to add depth, intensity, or a variety of other facets to your final fragrance. We suggest beginning with similar scents (such as two different citrus or vanilla fragrances) and testing those layering combinations, then branching out to more experimental pairings. Feeling stuck? Shared notes, even in very different fragrances, can help bring the final scent together. The sky's the limit - have fun!
