Chabaud Maison de Parfum launched Patchouli 1973 in 2019 — and it was a brilliant move. A unisex fragrance belonging to the wood and aromatic families. The author of this composition is Stephanie Bakouche, and that explains a lot. The fragrance belongs to the spicy, wood, and floral groups. The palette of this fragrance is exceptionally rich: traces of citrus can also be found — a rare combination that makes this perfume truly one of a kind. Part of the Paysages Olfactifs collection, available as eau de parfum.
Behind this fragrance stands France and its rich perfumery heritage. Patchouli 1973 Chabaud Maison de Parfum — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.

A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Patchouli 1973 unfolds as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of Chabaud Maison de Parfum is evident in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum supports a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
As soon as the fragrance opens you detect grassy-green first notes: Lavender and Orange. Exactly these 2 notes set natural freshness that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
In the central layer you meet Cinnamon, Geranium and Patchouli holding a cinnamon-nutmeg direction.
The internal accord map is built around these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Musc forming a compact and readable structure. Secondary accord layers such as Wood, Amber and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Citrus, Floral, Spicy and Wood. The palette also extends to Green, Ambery, Musk and Aromatic.
In summary Patchouli 1973 holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best experienced through real development.
