Essential Parfums Patchouli Mania
Patchouli with cocoa, hazelnut and tea
Patchouli Mania, by Fabrice Pellegrin, is built around the deep, sensual side of patchouli. Davana, green hazelnut and coriander seed open it, cocoa, Clearwood and tea make a warm gourmand heart, and patchouli, vetiver and Cetalox leave what the brand calls a mysterious, bewitching trail. It is an Eau de Parfum at 17%.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
Davana, hazelnut and coriander
Davana, green hazelnut and coriander seed open the perfume. Green hazelnut brings a fresh, milky nuttiness rather than a roasted one, coriander seed a dry, lightly citrusy spice, and davana a herbal fruitiness. It is a fresh, green-leaning start.
-
A warm gourmand heart
Cocoa and Clearwood make the heart, as the brand puts it, with tea in the same group. Cocoa is dry and bittersweet, Clearwood adds a dry, woody clarity, and tea takes off the sharp edge, so the gourmand side stays refined.
-
Patchouli, vetiver, Cetalox
Patchouli leads the base, with vetiver and Cetalox beside it. Patchouli is dark and earthy, vetiver dry and rooty, and Cetalox rounds the trail off. The brand sums it up as mysterious and bewitching. This is the darkest part of the perfume and the part that stays on the skin.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Evenings and cold air
Patchouli with cocoa belongs to autumn and winter, to the evening and to occasions where warmth is welcome. At 17%, with patchouli and vetiver in the base, two sprays are enough. It carries well in cold air.
Who it is for
People who love patchouli and want it kept refined: gourmand in the heart, dry in the base. It is unisex. If you like cocoa, hazelnut or tea in a perfume but not as sweet dessert notes, this one reads dark and dry rather than sugary.
Why choose Essential Parfums Patchouli Mania
It is a patchouli perfume whose story is told clearly across the pyramid, from a green hazelnut opening to a bewitching base. Fabrice Pellegrin composed it. Alongside the scent come 93% natural-origin ingredients, a vegan recipe and a bottle that refills.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is Patchouli Mania only patchouli?
No. Davana, green hazelnut and coriander seed open it, cocoa, Clearwood and tea form the heart, and patchouli sits in the base with vetiver and Cetalox. Patchouli is the theme, not the only voice.
Is it sweet because of the cocoa?
The brand calls the heart warm and gourmand, but patchouli, vetiver and Cetalox in the base keep the whole mysterious and dry. Expect warmth with depth, not a dessert.
How strong is it?
Patchouli Mania is a 17% Eau de Parfum according to the brand, in 100 ml. With patchouli and vetiver in the base it has weight and stays present.
Is it suitable for daily wear?
In the cooler months, yes. Its richness makes it more of an evening or weekend scent in summer, in small doses.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
