It’s an absolute must in my olfactory wardrobe. Not particularly versatile, yet incredibly evocative. It smells of burnt and smoky wood, reminiscent of that ‘birch tar’ shampoo a pharmacist used to make for my mother over 30 years ago. It’s not a scent that draws people in or earns compliments; instead, noses wrinkle and they ask what you’re wearing. I keep it for my own private enjoyment. I simply cannot live without it. I adore it. To give you an idea, it sits somewhere along the lines of Naomi Goodsir’s Bois d’Ascèse, though they aren’t very similar if my brain is making that association.
Patchouli 24 will be immortalised as my first Le Labo, and I hold it in special affection. It opens with an intense, earthy, smoky patchouli that is impossible to miss; I wish it lingered a little longer before yielding to a balsamic, woody, tar-like heart over an exquisite vanilla base. What stands out most is that it never smells synthetic, and on my skin it has an absurd longevity: it stays until the shower washes it away. Longevity: 10+, Sillage: 8.5, Scent: debatable. Final rating: 9.5+ because its only weakness is the price.

This is patchouli with leather and a smoky note that dominates for most of the time, before shifting to a vanilla and amber base that intensifies towards the end. It’s an exquisite perfume but extremely intrusive; two sprays fill the entire room. Not for everyone.
It has a very prominent accord that reminds me too much of the smell of a smoked sausage, something I find as disgusting as it is hilarious. I don’t think I would ever wear it.
