In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Patchouli by Perfumer H is a dry, transparent take on patchouli, shaped with pepper, juniper, galbanum and cedar rather than heavy sweetness or boozy depth. It smells green, woody and quietly polished, with iris and angelica giving the composition a clean, almost soapy softness. Best for patchouli lovers who want some…

Reviews →

Lost Lagoon reads as a green floral chypre with a bright, sharp opening and a softer, more elegant dry-down. Bergamot, lemon, and galbanum lift the start, while iris, violet, and oakmoss give it a powdery, mossy finish that can feel mature, elusive, and quietly sophisticated.
