Hind Al Oud Patchouli Parfum (Tester)

Description

Patchouli is a 2017 release from Hind Al Oud, the Dubai-based Emirati house founded in 2001 by Mohamed Hilal, and one of the house's fragrances built with no oud or agarwood at all. Fragrantica classifies it as woody aromatic: a bright, astringent burst of lemon opens the fragrance, sharp and alive, before coriander's spiced woodiness settles it into something more grounded, and dark, earthy patchouli carries it through to a balsamic, introspective finish. Hind Al Oud frames it around the moment discipline gives way to instinct. The same turning point the house says shaped its own founding. This listing is the Tester bottle: the same fragrance as the retail bottle, in simplified, unboxed packaging.

Scent Character

• Patchouli: 40%
• Spicy/Woody (Coriander): 30%
• Citrus (Lemon): 30%

Translation: a dark, earthy patchouli lifted by bright lemon and spiced coriander, no oud here, this is a Western-style woody aromatic rather than a traditional Arabian oud fragrance.
