Floris Patchouli opens with an unrefined burst of coconut milk and crisp violet leaf. As the initial sharpness clears, powdery iris and cedarwood quiet the earthiness of patchouli. Warm labdanum, frankincense, and amber form a dry, subtle base that remains close to skin during crisp autumn evenings.
