Patchouli vs Sounds & Visions

Shared character

Both fragrances are classified as woody, featuring the same base of rose, bergamot, cedarwood, sandalwood, nutmeg, cardamom, patchouli and palisander rosewood, and they both present a woody accord.

How they differ

Patchouli and Sounds & Visions belong to the WOODY family and share a core set of notes—rose, bergamot, cedarwood, sandalwood, nutmeg, cardamom, patchouli and palisander rosewood—plus a woody accord. The two diverge in their additional ingredients: Patchouli adds vanilla, musk, vetiver, tonka bean, oud / agarwood and basil, while Sounds & Visions introduces jasmine, pepper, mandarin, guaiac wood and ginger and is the only one to carry a citrus accord.

Who each suits

Patchouli will appeal to wearers who favor deep, resin‑rich, oriental‑type woods with sweet‑spicy elements such as vanilla, oud and vetiver. Sounds & Visions is suited to those who prefer a brighter, spicier woody profile that includes citrus, jasmine, pepper, mandarin and ginger.
