WIld Musk Patchouli Blend

Cozy & soft. Musk patchouli rose & jasmine present in equal measure. Recommended for a rainy day in listening to records.

This was mixed into a large lot of vintage perfumes I recently purchased, and honestly, I wasn’t going to look at it twice, but something made me stop and consider it. I’m so glad I did! It’s cozy, and kind of bookish. Not a dirty hippy patchouli, but a naturally beautiful, makeup-free Cambridge intellectual from the 70s patchouli. It’s a bit depressing to me that vintage cheapo drug store perfumes from the 70s are better quality than the bulk of high end perfumes today.

This was amazing back in the day. Wish I had a bottle now. Dry musk with strong herbal patchouli; no sweetness, no flowers that I could find, no nonsense. Strong and camphoraceous like Vicks Vapor Rub, in the BEST possible way. Bring it back!! Patchouli Patch is not as strong. Histoire de Parfums Noir Patchouli is close, but does not have the raging musky overtones. Almost tempted to pay the vultures on eBay...a moose needs musk!

I agree that its shameful how the " vultures" on eBay try to rip people off. Look everyone wants to make a buck but I find it offensive that someone asks $300 for a perfume which sold for $30. Seriously they have no class. I wanted to get the old Wild Musk oil or solid for a friend but it was the same. Sorry rant over.
