Fragrance information:

XVII Patchouli Secret by RPL is a bold and sensual unisex fragrance released in 2015.

It instantly won the hearts of niche fragrance enthusiasts thanks to its deep, enveloping character and incredible longevity.

Classified as an oriental fragrance, this perfume is a true olfactory drama in which every note plays its own unique role.

The History of RPL and the Fragrance Creator

The RPL brand takes its name from its founder, Rupert Peter Landenlinger, who made a bold transition from the world of high fashion to niche perfumery.

After working as a creative director for around 25 years, he brought an impeccable sense of style and a love of detail to his fragrances.

XVII Patchouli Secret was composed by the talented perfumer Philippe Bousseton, renowned for his ability to create multifaceted and memorable scents.

Their collaboration gave the world a true masterpiece.

Character and Sillage

XVII Patchouli Secret is more than just a perfume—it is a statement. It has a very strong sillage that leaves behind an aura of mystery and attraction.

This is a fragrance for confident people who are not afraid to stand out.

Thanks to its eau de parfum concentration, it offers excellent longevity and unfolds on the skin for many hours.

It is perfect for evenings out and special occasions, though bold personalities can wear it during the day as well.

Who Is This Fragrance For?

As a unisex fragrance, XVII Patchouli Secret is suitable for both men and women who prefer deep, woody-leathery compositions.

It develops differently on every wearer’s skin, yet always remains elegant and contemporary.

If you are looking for a fragrance that will become your signature and draw compliments, this is definitely a candidate for you.

Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

The fragrance pyramid unfolds gradually, offering a true olfactory journey. The top notes greet you with the sparkling freshness of bergamot and the spicy bite of black pepper.

Then, at the heart of the composition, smoky tobacco, earthy guaiac wood, and fresh violet leaf bloom.

The base is sensual and powerful: a leather accord, oakmoss, and, of course, the main character—patchouli—which lend the fragrance its signature depth and charm.

Persistence

The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage

Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth

The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

Gender

This scale depicts gender focus and demonstrates how the brand positions the fragrance - as masculine, feminine or universal.

On the skin

The optimum amount of atomisation on the skin is the balance at which the fragrance reveals itself in its entirety and sounds its best.

Where is the best place to apply the fragrance?

The best places to apply a fragrance are the areas where it will reveal itself most fully and create the most vivid impression.

On clothing

The optimum amount of atomisation of the fragrance on clothes, at which it reveals the best quality of the fragrance.

Associations

Perfume associations are the emotions and images that pop into the imagination when you perceive its unique notes and accents

Effect

Fragrances can attract attention and evoke positive emotions, others can leave neutral, and others can cause negative associations and repel people.

Intensity

The intensity of a fragrance is like its ‘volume’, the degree of intensity and strength with which it is felt around you or on the surface.

Packaging quality

Perfume bottle packaging quality is about protection and aesthetic appeal, including strength, reliability, design and materials. High quality ensures the safety and security of the product, a good first impression and attractiveness
