🌿 The Inspiration: The Wet Earth
Patchouli leaves fermenting in the rain. Imperial Dark Patchouli isolates the earthy, camphorous backbone of Voleur de Roses. It removes the flower to focus on the Raw Root, Wet Soil, and Dark Cocoa facets of aged Patchouli. It is deep, cold, and medicinal.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Dirt and Camphor
The scent opens with Camphor. The heart is pure Aged Patchouli Oil and Plum. The base is Wet Soil. It is linear and intense.
