One to win over the
patchophobes, Mistral Patchouli fronts a ‘cœur’-type patchouli oil
fractionation that’s high in desired patchoulol. The smell is
exceptionally smooth, clean and ambered, with additional musky-floral and cedar nuances.
The bright,
lemony-grapefruit top helps pick up some incensey inflections, while a prominent anise note in the head and heart blends well with patchouli’s darker
aspects.
