Patchouli of the Underworld by Kevin Mathys

"A dark and mysterious patchouli fragrance."

Mysterious, magnetic, unforgettable

Patchouli of the Underworld is an unapologetically dark fragrance. It opens with a riot of spices, black and pink peppers, richly combined with lighter touches of mandarin and the opulent kiss of cistus. The scent is earthy and raw, giving the feeling of having ventured into a hidden kingdom, whilst glints of luminescence from precious stones glitter against a darker surface.

Patchouli, warm and embracing, is joined by a forceful leather in the heart of the scent and the vivacious spice of carnation. Thick, waxy leaves push their way through the darkness and gloom, bringing life to the deepest of Pluto’s chambers.

The base of Patchouli of the Underworld twists towards a warm, animalic, deep tone. The labdanum offers a complex, sophisticated feel, whilst the styrax adds hints of sweetness and spice. Castoreum rounds out the composition with a resonant purr.

Pluto’s place in the Roman pantheon was as the ruler of the underworld. Not only was this the final destination for the fallen, but also deep earth, a mysterious place of wealth and resources that was abundant with precious jewels, oil, minerals and resources.

It is into Pluto’s lair that we venture with Patchouli of the Underworld, to see the beauty of glittering underground caverns, to walk in the steps that Persephone took as she ventured deep into the earth, and to feel the press of the shadows that are as dark and deep as panther’s fur.

This perfume was created with Persephone’s Patchouli as a pair. Two perfumers explored the central note of patchouli through their own unique viewpoints whilst using the story of Pluto and Persephone as the inspiration.
