And it’s a fashion-person favorite. We’ve seen it on the vanities of many influencers, and even our own editor in chief, Kat Collings, is a fan. “When I selected Le Labo’s Patchouli 24 scent over its more popular perfumes like Thé Noir and Santal 33, the shopkeeper gave me a nod of approval, saying it was a special and rare choice,” Collings says. “I, of course, let this go straight to my head, but it truly is an exceptional perfume. I find it to be a rather androgynous scent with notes of leather, smoke, and vanilla. The actual patchouli is very subtle, too, nothing like the stereotypical patchouli scent associated with hippies.”
