Velvet Patchouli N°20 opens with a soft plum note that feels ripe and gently sweet. It moves quickly into a rose heart that carries a mild spicy warmth, keeping the fruit from feeling sugary. The patchouli in the base is earthy and balsamic, with a woody depth that anchors the florals without overwhelming them.
