PATIALA

Patiala is a unisex extrait de parfum by Thameen London, the British house founded in London in 2013, whose name means “precious” in Arabic, led by artistic director Christopher Chong. Part of the Treasure Collection, dedicated to the world's most legendary gems, it is an opulent, luminous floral chypre, rich and elegant.

The Fragrance

Patiala is inspired by the legendary necklace created in 1928 for the Maharaja of Patiala, a masterpiece of 2,930 diamonds set in platinum, including one of the largest yellow diamonds in the world. The fragrance captures its craftsmanship and regal splendour: a rich, refined bouquet built like a jewel, in which the light of the flowers rests on a classic, sumptuous structure.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is bright and sparkling: Egyptian geranium and orange shine thanks to the aldehydes, like the reflections of precious stones. In the heart, orange blossom and rose bloom, velvety and sensual, supported by the depth of Indonesian patchouli. The base is classic and enveloping: oakmoss, amber and musk leave an elegant, refined trail.

Who We Recommend Patiala To

We recommend Patiala to those who love rich, sophisticated florals with a classic yet modern chypre signature. It is perfect by day and by night, ideal for special events and elegant evenings, but also for adding a touch of luxury to everyday life, in every season. Unisex, it suits him and her.
