Patchouli Absolu

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Tom Ford Patchouli Absolu

Patchouli Absolu is a rich, refined patchouli, and our version keeps that elegant earthy character, built around the same notes with real depth.

The Story Behind the Scent

Tom Ford built Patchouli Absolu as a rich, refined patchouli, pairing an aromatic opening with a deep dark patchouli heart for an elegant, earthy character.

Our interpretation follows that character, keeping the balance of the original and building it at a high perfume oil concentration so it lasts on skin.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a luxury eau de parfum sold at high pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a rich dark patchouli scent and wants a luxury style fragrance without the high price.

How it Smells

It opens aromatic and bright, with bay leaf and bergamot.
