Patchouli Leaf
At a glance

What it smells like

Patchouli leaf, though odorless when fresh, develops a deep woody, earthy aroma after drying, characterized by damp‑earth and green undertones. It serves as a powerful fixative, anchoring fragrances with a rich, resinous depth. Perfumers layer it beneath warmer base notes in oriental and chypre compositions to create longevity and a subtle, grounding presence.

Patchouli Leaf is listed in 17 perfumes in this directory. It is used across the heart, base and top positions rather than in one fixed place. It is most often paired with bergamot, leather, amber and vanilla.
