Total delight! Loads of compliments. If you like caramel and sweetness, it’s yours; if not, don’t even look at it.
I love it. At first, it smells 80% like my favourite, Reminiscence Patchouli, but while that one stays earthy patchouli until the end, here the olfactory pyramid unfolds step by step. It quickly turns green. The earthy patchouli is evident from the start, just like in Reminiscence, but loses strength as the other scents emerge. It’s not a beast in projection or trail, as happens with almost everything on my skin. Anyway, for the price, I’d stick with Reminiscence Patchouli, both the regular and the Elixir. Cheers.
I bought it after checking the description and a review here. Honestly, I tried a decant first, then the bottle. In my experience, it lasts forever and projects quite well. I’d describe it as a powdery patchouli, iris or lavender style. It has an animalic base that can be dangerous if you wear it in summer with sweat; it works brilliantly on clothes and is perfect in moderation. I’m sure it will last me a long time because two sprays are plenty. Some smell chocolate, others leather. It’s my favourite fragrance so far, on par with Dior Homme Parfum and Ombre Leather (I have decants of both). The bottle is gorgeous and comes with a magnetic cap.
This is my sixth perfume from this house. Its greatest virtue is the projection and longevity. It starts with very marked green notes. The blend of mimosa and oak moss gives me a citrus-aromatic sensation, although it’s not declared. In the heart, a deep, dark, earthy patchouli shines through with those sparkling greens, a very enjoyable and versatile scent. In the dry down, it becomes more powdery and soapy, making it a real treat. I see it as more masculine, suitable for any season and with smart attire. On my skin, it lasts over 10 hours: very sharp for the first three, then dropping until it’s skin-scent from the seventh hour onwards. Recommended for lovers of good patchouli. Scent 8.5/10, Trail 9/10, Projection 8.5/10, Longevity 8.5/10.
First things first, I’m new to perfumery and my sense of smell isn’t as trained as many here, but I want to share my experience. I met this scent in a decant gifted when I bought Ombre Leather. Upon applying it, I felt a very dominant patchouli from start to finish, with a quite earthy smell, like wet earth; those were the two notes I detected. As it dried, a citrus touch emerged with that earthy base. It’s a very rich and unusual scent. On skin, it lasted about 14 hours despite showering; even after the bath, it was slightly noticeable. Projection and trail are moderate, perhaps a metre. I’d give it an 8.5 out of 10. It’s not my favourite, but it’s not bad and lasts a very long time.
