“For this project, I wanted to reinvent patchouli,(…) I loved the idea of mixing patchouli with white florals. We used patchouli orpur, which takes out some of the darker, smoky notes of patchouli. We mixed that with peony, bergamot, and jasmine. Additional notes include rose, coriander, and ambrette seed.”

White Patchouli is created in cooperation with perfumer of the house of Givaudan and it is mixed as a game of white flowers, patchouli, peony, bergamot, jasmine, rose, coriander and ambrette seed. the perfume is available in a white glass bottle in three sizes: 30, 50 and 100ml edt, and as body lotion.

Commercial for this perfume was done in black and white. Photographers in charge of the quality presentation are Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, while the face on the commercial is popular singer Erykah Badu. The commercial will be present in fashion magazines from September, when campaign for sale of White Patchouli will also begin.
