PatchouliWoody Fruity Extrait de Parfum

Patchouli by Jouri Perfumes is a woody, fruity, and chypre perfume extract, unisex, created by Ali Abdulla Almarzooqi. A classic chypre composed of twenty-one ingredients.

A house where the founder is also the nose

Jouri Perfumes is an Emirati house, whose first fragrance dates back to 2017. Its uniqueness lies in a rare fact: Ali Abdulla Almarzooqi is not only the founder, he is the nose behind all the creations. Where most houses commission their formulas from outside perfumers, every Jouri bottle bears the hand of a single person.

An opening of aldehydes, peach, and citrus

Aldehydes open with a soapy and metallic sparkle, the signature of the great chypres of the last century. Bergamot and lime provide the bite, while peach, pineapple, plum, and blackcurrant provide the fruity flesh, while violet leaves and fir balsam bring a cut greenness, almost resinous.

A heart of rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang

Rose and geranium hold the center, jasmine and ylang-ylang thicken it with a solar opulence, while muguet lightens it. It is a complete bouquet, like we don't compose much anymore.

A base of patchouli, oakmoss, and nagarmotha

Patchouli and oakmoss form the chypre accord in its strictest definition, while vetiver and leather darken it. Tonka bean and vanilla soften, and nagarmotha — cypriol, an Indian root with the scent of burnt wood — brings the smoke that links the perfume to the Gulf.

The house's signature

Twenty-one ingredients, and an old-fashioned chypre. It is the house's second most complex composition after Jadi, and the most Western in style: aldehydes at the top, floral bouquet at the heart, oakmoss and patchouli at the base — the exact grammar of the historic chypre, which few houses revive today. Nagarmotha is the signature that shifts the whole: this smoked root does not belong to the French chypre vocabulary, it comes from Indian and Arabic perfumery.

For whom, for what occasions?

Woody, fruity, and chypre, this extract is for those who love chypres and patchouli, and miss compositions written before the regulation of oakmoss. From autumn to winter, in the evening. It is the most classic of the house.

With Patchouli Jouri Perfumes, a root from the Gulf enters the grammar of the French chypre.
