Esteban Patchouli is a bold, aromatic fragrance that combines the raw earthiness of patchouli with a surprising floral and fruity elegance. The opening features a crisp, green-tinged patchouli with subtle pink and black pepper, creating an initial sensation that is sharp yet refined. Over time, it evolves into a rich, woody-sweet blend where labdanum and rose give depth and sensuality, while iris and violet leaf lend a soft, powdery clarity. The scent is both intense and mature—high sillage, long-lasting, and carries an incensed, bakhour-like aura, particularly noticeable in colder weather. It leans feminine but wears well on men, especially in evening settings. Though its initial sharpness can be overwhelming, it mellows beautifully and transforms into a hypnotic, candy-like warmth that lingers on skin and fabric. A powerful scent suitable for layered wear, particularly in the autumn and winter months.
