There is nothing more comforting and luxurious than a warm, soft patchouli fragrance. We are mad about the note and fancy ourselves as patchouli connoisseurs, so do believe us when we say that Montale's rendition is perhaps the most wonderful patchouli scent we know. Labdanum and woods give patchouli complexity and glorious dark depth, and vanilla provides a mesmerizing contrast to the earthy sharpness of the star note and makes the fragrance enveloping and warm. These are patchouli leaves wrapped in the softest and the most expensive of cashmeres, brought in oak trunks from exotic faraway lands…a dreamy and sensual perfume, as striking as it is easy to wear.
