Parfum Francis Kurkidjian OUD 200ML

Originally from Indonesia, this aromatic plant smells almost nothing on the vine. The leaves must first be dried and then left to ferment so that their odorous molecules are formed. After distillation, the essence must age for several more months in barrels to allow optimal use. So, Pogostemon cablin reveals a powerful odor, both woody and earthy with smoky, camphorous, syrupy and even moldy accents. Some say it evokes a damp cellar. Patchouli, much appreciated by women of easy virtue at the end of the ^19th century in France, was long considered a little vulgar. Then the hippie generation of the 70s adopted it as a symbol of freedom and popularized its smell. If it no longer carries a sulphurous reputation, its power continues to fascinate and fits into both feminine and masculine compositions.
