Is Fleur de Patchouli suitable for men as well as women?+−
Yes. While it features peony, the prominent clary sage, gaiac wood, and earthy patchouli notes provide a woody, herbal backbone that fits comfortably into a gender-neutral or unisex fragrance rotation.
How does the patchouli in this fragrance compare to traditional "hippy" patchouli?+−
This is a much cleaner, more refined version of the note. Because it is paired with bergamot and peony, it lacks the damp, "basement" quality of raw patchouli, leaning instead toward a dry, woody, and slightly synthetic earthiness.
On what occasions should I wear this?+−
It is most effective as a daytime fragrance for leisure or business. Its restrained projection makes it a reliable choice for the office or casual daily errands where you want to smell put-together without making an aggressive statement.
Does this fragrance last all day?+−
Most users find the longevity to be moderate. It typically lasts for several hours but often fades to a skin scent by the afternoon, similar to the performance profile of many other Jo Malone-designed collaborations.
