Patrius — the character of an oriental composition
Soul of Makeen Patrius is a 2023 eau de parfum from the French brand Soul of Makeen.
The fragrance is part of the Love Collection and is positioned as unisex. It therefore unfolds not through rigid gender stereotypes, but through an expressive contrast of spice, juicy fruitiness, leather and woody nuances.
Patrius will appeal to those looking for a noticeable, rich and charismatic fragrance with an oriental mood.
Its character brings together leathery, spicy, floral and oriental facets, while the overall composition also leans toward fruity, gourmand and woody accords.
This is not a background fragrance, but a composition for occasions when you want to emphasize your individuality and leave a memorable impression.
Development and olfactory profile
At the opening, Patrius draws attention with a juicy combination of raspberry, pink pepper and saffron.
The fruity softness meets dry spice here, making the opening vivid, warm and multifaceted.
As the composition develops, floral iris adds powdery depth and makes the transition to the rich base smoother.
The drydown is built around cedar, a leather accord and vanilla. Dry woods and textured leather are supported by soft gourmand sweetness, creating a dense, enveloping scent.
Saffron plays a particularly important role: it lends the fragrance a distinctive spicy nuance and enhances its oriental expressiveness.
Sillage and everyday wear
According to its stated characteristics, Patrius has very strong sillage.
It is therefore best introduced gradually, with the setting taken into account: its intensity will feel more comfortable outdoors or in a spacious room than in a small enclosed office.
No precise recommendation for the number of sprays on skin or clothing is provided, so the ideal dosage should be determined individually, starting with the smallest amount.
Its unisex positioning makes Patrius a versatile choice for admirers of spicy oriental and leathery compositions.
It is particularly suitable for cool weather, evenings, meetings or events where expressiveness and a lasting presence matter.
On skin, the fragrance may smell warmer and softer, while on fabric it may retain its dry woody-leathery nuances for longer.
Its place in the collection and similar fragrances
Within the Love Collection, Patrius stands out with its contrasting presentation: a bright fruity-spicy opening gradually gives way to an iris-infused depth and a dense leathery-woody base.
No information is available about the perfumer or other concentrations of this fragrance, so it is best assessed through its actual note pyramid, sillage intensity and overall mood.
If you enjoy prominent oriental fragrances with leathery and spicy facets, take a look at The Spirit of Dubai Turath.
For further exploration, L'Artisan Parfumeur Al Oudh and The Spirit of Dubai Durra are also worth considering — relevant options for those interested in deep, expressive and intense compositions.
