Patchouli of the underworld

By Kevin Mathys

This is dark, carnal and animalic: a patchouli scent with a musky sexuality, power, opulence. Capture the raw passion of Pluto, the darkness of the underworld; as well as the opulence of his kingdom's hidden treasures, such as precious gems, minerals and sparkling metals enshrined deep in the earth's core.

INSPIRATION

Pluto's predicament was to rule UNDERWORLD: the final destination for the dead but also DEEP EARTH the place of wealth and opulence full of precious jewels, oil, minerals and resources and the land needed for a bountiful harvest. Brother of the king of the gods Jupiter, PLUTO was a powerful and magnetic personality.

This perfume was created with Persephone's Patchouli paired. Two perfumers explore the central note of Patchouli through two lenses of the same story: that of Pluto and his queen Persephone.

NOTES OF THE PERFUMER

“The idea was to build a black patchouli, with a furry texture as black as the panther.

Start with pink and black pepper mixed with citrus fruits (bergamot and mandarin) to create a fresh dark top note that enhances the camphor notes of the patchouli. I played with a suede accord of absolute mate, birch and a smoky twist with falls and rich smoked fine woods to create a synergy between resins and woods and reinforce the character of the musk.

I softened it with a blend of cistus extracts, labdanum and other amber materials to give the hairy and smooth signature. Bits of carnation (spicy rose character) and other floral elements are enriching the fragrance to give it depth and structure. "Kevin Mathys
