The Perfumer
Why I made This
I made El Patron in honour of a leader I deeply admire, FLT. LT. Jerry John Rawlings, and everything his name carries: strength, courage, conviction. I reached for refined, powerful materials, violet and orris, agarwood and rose, to build an aura worthy of him. This one is for every true leader. Wear it, and carry yourself like one.

Before you buy
Questions, answered
What does it smell like?
Boozy and warm: cognac and cinnamon into a sweet praline drydown.
When should I wear it?
A day-to-night scent that performs beautifully in any weather.
Is it sweet?
Yes, gourmand-sweet at the base, but balanced by the cognac and spice up top.
Is it a masculine?
Listed for men and leans boozy-warm, though gourmand lovers of any gender enjoy it.
How far does it project?
Enormous. It leaves a trail roughly 150 meters after you pass by.

Verified PurchaseYes this scent commands attention. People go out of their way to compliment me. My friend is visiting Ghana so today I am restocking.

Verified PurchaseTook me 2 days to appreciate this blind buy. Smelt it on someone on a soccer pitch. Purchased it right off without knowing the quality and I must say I’m impressed. Last over 5 days on my fabric.

Verified PurchaseThis is without a doubt one of the most beautiful fragrances created, in my opinion. The layers this has and the way the scent changes over time (and it lasts a full day) needs to be experienced and celebrated.
