Patchouli Antique
Les Nereides' Patchouli Antique is an eau de parfum with a deep, resinous character centred on earthy patchouli. A smoky incense note opens the fragrance with a dry, contemplative air, and the patchouli then comes forward with its dark, velvety richness. As it settles, the base draws in warm amber and a soft balsamic sweetness, with vanilla and a faintly mossy, woody undertone adding depth.
The overall impression is rich and enveloping without being heavy-handed. Warm spice and woody tones run through the heart, so the scent feels grounded and textured rather than sugary, and its smoky and earthy elements take on a quiet mystery as the hours pass. It was launched in 2019 and is presented for women.
Sillage is strong, so the fragrance tends to be noticeable across a room, and its longevity is long lasting, usually staying on through a full day. These qualities suit cooler months, when the warmth of the base feels especially welcome in autumn and winter, though it can also be worn in spring and summer by those who favour an intense character.
It works well for evenings out and for professional settings where a considered, enduring scent is appropriate, and it carries enough versatility for relaxed casual wear. Presented as an eau de parfum in a 30ml bottle from the French house Les Nereides.
