Patchouli Mojito
Mint and lime over soft patchouli and warm woods, ending in a cool, rum-and-sugar sweetness.
Perfumer: Amélie Bourgeois
A mojito comes down to crushed mint, lime, sugar and rum. Patchouli Mojito keeps that brightness and lays the damp-earth tone of patchouli beneath it. The perfumer is Amélie Bourgeois.
Lemon and lime open with clean acidity, and mint and eucalyptus add a cooling draft that reaches deep into the nose. Below, the patchouli stays soft rather than heavy, while cedarwood, sandalwood and cashmeran bring the warmth of wood. The sharpness of citrus and herbs is caught by the roundness of wood and earth.
What remains is a cool sweetness that suggests white rum and sugar. Iso E Super and ambroxan widen the outline, and like sugar left undissolved at the bottom of a glass, a quiet sweetness lingers behind the freshness.
