A powerful amber and woody fragrance that connects us to the earth and echoes our inner strength.
Perfumer: Jacques Flori
"In my childhood, reckless and adventurous, I would cycle through the streets of Grasse. During the Patchouli season, I would pass right by the distilleries of the time to breathe in its warm and intense scent. Intoxicated, I would return to my parents' house with a light heart filled with indelible happiness. These memories have made me a passionate perfumer, Patchouli having become the raw material that I have always preferred to work with."
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
A worn-in leather jacket and an unhurried walk home as the afternoon fades: the earthy patchouli and smoky resin suit a self-contained, quietly assured presence. Its warmth feels personal rather than theatrical, with enough woody depth to give a simple outfit weight.
How to wear
Try it in cool or temperate weather, when the resinous warmth can unfold without feeling crowded. Start with two sprays on the neck or wrists; the officially light-intensity eau de cologne format offers a restrained presentation despite the dark, woody character. Assess it on skin before adding more.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to earthy patchouli, smoky woods and the resinous, leather-like warmth of labdanum. It suits a preference for grounded, textured fragrances over bright citrus or sweet floral compositions, especially when that depth is wanted in a lighter cologne format.
Release year
2017
The nose
Jacques Flori is a perfumer associated with Robertet, with a portfolio spanning niche and luxury perfumery, including Xerjoff Alexandria II. His work often explores richly textured woods and amber accords. For Patchouli & Labdanum, his connection to the central material is personal: he describes patchouli as his favorite ingredient, tied to happy childhood memories in Grasse.
100BON’s story
Founded by Christophe Bombana, 100BON puts ingredients and perfumers’ creative freedom ahead of elaborate packaging. Its approach combines accessible pricing with a strong emphasis on natural materials, wheat-derived alcohol and responsible sourcing, treating perfume as an everyday pleasure rather than a ceremonial luxury.
Patchouli & Labdanum’s concept
The fragrance’s creative backstory draws on Flori’s childhood bicycle rides through Grasse, when the warm, intense smell of patchouli from local distilleries became a lasting source of happiness. Its earlier identity, Labdanum & Pur Patchouli, dates to 2017; the timing of the current name and continuity of the formula are not established.
Extra info
The current 50 ml eau de cologne is made in France, refillable and listed as 99.0% natural. Its official ingredient palette includes Indonesian patchouli, Haitian vetiver and Virginia cedar alongside labdanum absolute.
