PATCHOULI CANNELLE by La Closerie des Parfums

On the deep, heady base of patchouli, cinnamon, the queen of spices, emits delicate Oriental wisps. Patchouli Cannelle by La Closerie des Parfums is a comforting fragrance that warms skin and mind.

For the night-owls, this fragrance mixes mysterious amber and coffee with intense, addictive and amazing inflections. From pressure comes a delightful seduction. The delicate sensuality of jasmine meets the strong addiction to coffee. The sound rises, the temperature too… This unique gourmand combination is magnified by the volcano labdanum and the tonka bean. Finally, musks always bring more modernity to this amber composition.
