  I’ve never found the blend of patchouli with cocoa, vanilla, leather, and cognac so fascinating and seductive. The result is crisp and sharpens the tobacco, citrus, and amber. A well-balanced vintage fragrance, with essences of maximum quality that make it mysterious, captivating, and comforting.

  Normally I don’t like fragrances with patchouli, and this is no exception, but it has quality and is essential for lovers of the note. It opens with a mentholated and earthy patchouli at the same time, which surprised me as it’s usually one or the other. There’s also a hint of liquor at the start and an orangey base. Gradually, cocoa, vanilla, honey, and resins enter, swapping the spotlight with the patchouli. It’s a perfume with many nuances: you smell it once and notice something, you return and notice another. Sometimes the bitter cocoa stood out, other times the honey (not animalic), and other times the vanilla as it dried. The liquorish tone fades and the resins, vanilla, and patchouli take control until the end, with a woody base that completes everything. Performance is spectacular in projection and longevity. It’s more masculine and suited to cold weather, better for night. Frankly good, but it’s not my type due to the dominant patchouli, though it’s impossible to deny it’s a good perfume. The brand is unknown here and has interesting things to offer.

  It smells of patchouli, cognac, leather, and tobacco. Those are the notes I perceive. It’s for older people and those with experience in strong aromas. It’s from 1925, an old-school fougère. I recommend it to perfume addicts who meet those requirements.

  Horizon: Opens with a fleeting touch of petit grain, rose, and patchouli (no citrus or jam). Within minutes, that disappears and only the patchouli remains, followed by cocoa, tobacco, and the earthy notes (I don’t detect cognac, oak, amber, or almond here). As it dries, it gains sweetness; the patchouli and earthiness persist, joined by vanilla, honey, an amber base, and a touch of leather. Thanks to that sweetness, it ends with a musky cocoa (the brand’s signature), a very good move as it avoids being boring or invasive. Projection lasts 6-7 hours, on the skin it endures for more than 10, even after a shower. It’s a pure vintage fougère, based on earthiness and patchouli, with that typical musky finish of Oriza L. Legrand. An aromatic masculine scent, very retro. It evolves well: at first it seems monotonous, but it gains notes until it becomes something special, hard to find today with all the sweetness and oud in fashion.

  If this smells like 1925, then the perfume from back then must have been a beast, because what I knew of the era has nothing to do with this. Instead of flowers or a clean fougère, this smells like the 70s, the era of patchouli. That note dominates: it’s earthy, with chocolate and dark. I detect no liquor, no roses, no jam, just a touch of sweetness from the amber and vanilla. There are better options in the niche today, but given its age, it should be a myth, even if it’s been surpassed. The performance is poor, projection and sillage are non-existent; it lasts 5-6 hours on the skin. For the current niche, it’s normal for it to be so underwhelming.
