About This Perfume
Patchouli by Ahmed Al Maghribi is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men. Patchouli was launched in 2017. Top notes are Saffron and Rose; middle notes are Patchouli and Myrrh; base notes are Guaiac Wood, Black Musk and Oud. Patchouli by Ahmed Al Maghribi is an oriental-woody fragrance built around the earthy richness of patchouli, framed by floral, resinous, and musky nuances. The composition opens with a pairing of red rose and saffron, introducing a warm, slightly spicy floral tone before moving into a heart dominated by patchouli, accompanied by the smoky, balsamic character of myrrh. The base brings together oud, guaiac wood, and black musk, adding depth through dark woods and a pronounced musky undertone. The result is a structured scent that progresses from floral-spicy facets to a dense, woody and earthy drydown. Marketed as a unisex perfume, Patchouli was introduced in 2017 and is presented in a 50 ml Eau de Parfum format. Its focus on traditional oriental materials such as oud, saffron, myrrh, and musk places it firmly in the Oriental Woody family, with patchouli providing a central earthy axis around which the other notes are arranged.
