Hammurabi
Hammurabi is a green aromatic fragrance oil built around mint, vetiver and patchouli, with a darker resinous base underneath. Wearers describe a fresh mint-leaf opening, a smooth green woody heart, and a sweeter, slightly powdery dry-down touched by benzoin, tonka and balsams. It reads unisex, though some feedback says it leans more masculine once the vetiver, patchouli and powdery woods settle in.

Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
Hammurabi opens with a minty green burst, then moves into vetiver, patchouli and dry woods. The dry-down becomes warmer and sweeter, with benzoin, labdanum, styrax and tonka giving it a balsamic, slightly powdery finish. The overall feel is aromatic, earthy, woody and resinous rather than bright citrusy or floral.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe amber and balsamic accords give Hammurabi its warm resinous backbone, while aromatic mint and vetiver keep the first impression green and fresh. Patchouli adds earth and shadow, woods give structure, and the vanilla-tonka facet softens the dry-down without turning it into a sweet gourmand.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Hammurabi King's Palace Perfumery Review”
Hammurabi by King's Palace Perfumery is not a generic fresh green scent. It opens with a clear minty rush, closer to crushed fresh mint leaves than toothpaste, and quickly brings patchouli into the frame. That combination gives it a cool aromatic surface with a darker, earthier pull underneath.
The main personality sits between green vetiver, patchouli and warm resins. One wearer called it a great green vetiver patchouli scent, while another picked out mint and vetiver as the leading notes. The brand material also supports that reading, listing spearmint, vetiver, khus attar, patchouli leaves, benzoin, labdanum, elemi, rose, tonka bean and styrax. On skin, those materials suggest a fragrance that starts fresh and leafy, then turns woodier, sweeter and more balsamic.
What makes Hammurabi interesting is the texture. It is smooth rather than scratchy, but it still has body. The patchouli gives it depth, the vetiver keeps it dry and green, and the resins give the dry-down a sweet, almost incense-like warmth. A reviewer described the later stage as heady, woody, musky-sweet and elegant, which fits the accord profile well.
Although Hammurabi is listed as unisex, buyer feedback suggests it may lean masculine for some wearers. That does not mean it is only for men. It means the powdery vetiver, patchouli and woody balsams may feel more traditionally masculine than soft, floral or gourmand. The rose appears to play a quiet supporting role rather than turning the fragrance romantic or overtly floral.
Performance looks respectable from the available evidence. Longevity votes sit in long lasting and eternal territory, while sillage votes range from moderate to strong. Still, one detailed review points out that, as a fragrance oil, it does not behave like a huge projecting spray. Expect more of a present scented aura, especially after the opening settles.
Hammurabi is best for people who already enjoy green patchouli, vetiver, aromatic herbs and resinous oils. It feels more suited to fall, cooler evenings, close settings and dressed-up casual wear than to beach heat or office minimalism. If you dislike heady patchouli or prefer sparkling citrus freshness, this may feel too earthy and dense. If you want a smooth green oil with ancient-resin warmth, it is worth sampling.
