Patchouli Noisette from Les Indémodables came from a desire to reinvent the classic patchouli scent in a modern way. The perfumer, Antoine Lie, along with the brand founders, Valérie and Rémi Pulvérail, wanted to create a fragrance that was different from traditional chypre and gourmand scents. They wanted to show patchouli in a new way, so that people who might normally not like its strong character could still enjoy it. The key to this innovation was a new ingredient - an ultrasonic extract from Piedmont hazelnuts. This hazelnut was developed in-house using 100% green technology, and it was used for the first time in perfume. It added a soft, praline note that balanced the dark, earthy patchouli notes, creating a complex and rich scent.
