Patchouli 1973

My Moto, If I don't have it from 10ml upwards, I ain't got it. I tried a sample of this, tested in August 2020 in Greece with the super sunshine and heat. Gain plenty complements and this Fragrance is long lasting. Extremely bottle worthy probably the freshest main Patchouli based fragrance I know of.

Agree that it smells a little old school, which isn't bad. It's in the whelm of KL, Fendi and Cinnabar. I happen to like classics! So, I would buy this! :))

This fragrance doesn't scream patchouli or smell like a 70s-inspired fragrance, but it doesn't mean it's a bad fragrance, far from that. It's an excellent ambery oriental with good projection and staying power. To my nose, it's like l'artisan parfumeur's ambre extreme with oranges in the opening and a bit of patchouli in the dry-down. Beautiful, long-lasting and will get you lots of compliments. Recommended.

For the first few seconds Patchouli 1973 almost has an organic/herbal cola vibe, then it becomes quite medicinal and tincture-like. There’s something fresh and allmost fizzy about it, it’s unique and I think some people might be able to pull it off. I’m all about powdery scents, which this absolutely isn’t. It’s alright though, photorealistic patchouli, very similar to essential oil of patchouli with a bit of cinnamon sprinkled on top. After a few hours it becomes an almost smoky incense-patchouli fragrance. At this point I get the 70's vibe, it's vintage and very mature. More suitable for 40+ and old souls I'd say.

Oh man, within three minutes of trying this on, I thought was going to get a new patchouli perfume! Those three minutes were like Heaven. Spicy feminine leaning patchouli. But then came an odd note, or maybe accord, that took it to a men's fougere/cologne smell. That lasted about 25 minutes before more patchouli came forward and started to mute the cologne smell, which gave me hope. But nope, it was not to be, because after another 20 minutes, the cologne smell came back to stay and lasted the entirety of the fragrance.
