La Collection Couturier Parfumeur Patchouli Imperial

Patchouli ısrarla aradığım yada favorilerim arasında olan bir koku değil. İyi bir kompozisyonda şık durduğunu biliyorum. Ancak baskın ve çıplak olduğu zaman rahatsız edici olabiliyor. Patchouli Imperial ise çıplak değil aksine çok şık bir kıyafete sahip. Sandalwood içerik olarak görünüyor ama patchouli üzerinde şık bir aksesuar gibi duruyor. Diğer notalar ise formal bir kıyafet gibi patchouli nin üzerine oturmuş. Kesinlikle batılı tarzda, ağırbaşlı, bağırığ çağırmayan bir parfüm. "Bayıldım", "harika", "muhteşem" gibi övgülere talip değil. O alanlar için kıyafeti uygun değil ancak güven veren, "buradayım ama etrafıma saygım var" diyen bir koku dağılımına ve güzelliğe sahip. PI ye zaman vermeniz lazım. 2-3 kullanım sonrasında fikir sahibi olamayabilirsiniz. Ancak 1 aylık bir dönemde 7-8 kullanım sonucunda onu tanımak mümkün. Bazı parfümler zamana karşı dirençlidir. Moda ve kültürel değişimlerden fazla etkilenmezler. Karşımızda böyle bir harman var. Eğer Dior satış vb. gibi kaygılarla hareket etmez ise PI uzun yıllar sağlam duruşunu sürdürecektir. İlk yarım saat içinde sundukları muhteşem. Sonra sakinleşerek ilerliyor. Kalıcılık fena değil ama 12 saat gibi garip süreler istemeyin. Gün içinde iki defa kullanabileceğiniz bir parfüm. Sabah saat 10 gibi ve sonrasında saat 16 gibi kullandığınızda kokunun olgunlaşma süreçlerine zarar vermeden keyfini sürebilirsiniz. Gençlerin seveceğini sanmıyorum. 20 li yaşlardaki bir delikanlı için bu koku korku-saygı-ilgi duyduğu bir orta yaşlı adamı hatırlatacaktır. Çünkü PI nin "eğlenceli" olmak gibi bir derdi yok. 30 lu yaşlarda olup kendini 40 lı yaşların ortamında bulan, gerçekten 40 ın üstünde olan erkekler için ise çok uygun. Kadınlar da kullanabilir ama onlara önerim "layering" denemeleri. Ben küçük bir deneme yaptım ve sonuç fena olmadı. PI yi 4/1 oranında Acqua di Parma Arancia di Capri ile denedim. Mandalina ve greyfurt kokuyu biraz yumuşatıp biraz feminen hava verdi. Eğer kışın bu denemeyi yapmak istiyorsanız o zaman baskın olmayan bir "gül" ile de deneyebilirsiniz. Ben edenemedim ama böyle bir deneme için Jo Malone Velvet Rose uygun olabilir.

One of the most perfect classic patchouli/sandalwood fragrances I have ever encountered. This is a straight up classic patchouli/sandalwood (blended with a few other notes, most notably coriander) and it is done with precision and perfect balance. Truly breathtaking patchouli. This is the patchouli I have been searching for since I first tried Patchouli Patch years ago. This is what I wanted PP to be. This is what I have wanted all patchouli/sandalwood blends to be. It isn't loud but has a beautiful presence. As much as I love Coromandel, I believe I prefer the simple elegance of this one even more as it is more versatile. I don't know, I love me some Coromandel so let me think on it a little longer. This is the most elegant and refined "hippie" fragrance you will find. This is for the hippie who may have matured a bit but refuses to leave that carefree and earthy spirit behind. This would work with a t-shirt and jeans, a flowing dress or a business suit. Perfectly unisex. It isn't too much or too little. It just simply smells phenomenal without being too complicated.

Objective: Aggressive sillage. 12+ hour longevity. Very high quality from the package to the bottle to the fragrance this is exceptional perfume making. Subjective: Patchouli is life. One inhalation and you experience the fresh seedling, the energetic young plant, the mature deep green herb, the drying brown shrub, the leaves cast to dirt, the moist pungent decay and finally the dark rich peat awaiting newly spilled seed. Dior's Patchouli Imperial takes the back the sacred note from the vile heathens and makes a worthy offering to the faithful and their God. This is stunning. It is class. Some may be as good but nothing is better. I don't care what people say about Dior, the French, Franky D., fashion, chemists, or the the fragrance business. This is high art. It's complex, bold, and unlike anything I've ever smelled. Your loved ones won't understand it. Get your own place. This fragrance is why I love perfume. Conclusion: Try before you buy of course but congratulations if you love it. You will have found something truly special.

This smells so regal! I ran across this scent on a man at the mall. and when I asked him to find out what he was wearing, I immediately went to the department store's Dior section. Unfortunately, my country doesn't carry La Collection Privee. i'm madly in love with this masterpiece! The projection I got from the man was at arm's length, which was very good! who needs a room filler like "in your face" anyway? Update: I get the most bizarre unsolicited comments from my friends in school when I wear this frag. they associate it with along the lines of Caveman, Mummy's Tomb, DOM, Closet filled of mothballs etc.. LOL Girls don't like this. but my male friends do It's definitely long lasting. I get more than 8 hours of longevity and even get whiffs after showering! In projection, this is a beast I could say. people walking towards me are able to smell this before they actually get in front of me.

Love, love, love Patchouli Imperial (PI)! What do I get out of this fragrance? Patchouli, Coriander and Sandalwood - that's it! PI is full-flavored, but it is elegant, classy and well-done! To be honest, while patchouli is a great supporting note in many fragrances, I typically don't love perfumes that feature patchouli front-and-center. However, Dior got this one "just right" and it is probably the most underrated La Collection Privée fragrance. Patchouli Imperial is an outstanding blend. I currently own nine (9) La Collection Privée fragrances (Ambre Nuit, Cuir Cannage, Bois D'argent, Leather Oud, Feve Delicieuse, Oud Isphahan, Vetiver, Eau Noire and Patchouli Imperial) and PI is one of my favorites, for sure! Longevity is a solid 8-hours and it projects well (above average) on my skin; spray it on your clothing and the scent will last for days. A must try for patchouli lovers.

My first impression is as follows: an intense spectacular Coriander BOMB!...then about 15-20 minutes the dust finally settles. Then the Patchouli and slowly peak there heads out of the ashes, and begins to develop into something wonderful, the Sandalwood starts slowly making its way out of the rubble, and helps show the different faces of patchouli. There is a slight powdery/aromatic accord in the dry down which makes me prefer to wear it in cooler weather. Patchouli Imperial is linear, But not boring in the least, I also appreciate the sheer quality of the oils which make this fragrance so elegant and refined. The bottle is plain, it has a magnetic cap which centers the CD symbol on top, which adds just a touch of class for me. Value wise this is exceptionally priced for the amount given, and quality of the oils used. 9/10

Very smart, elegant high quality Pachouli fragrance (without the old skool dirty earthy Hippie stereotype). This works well as an office/ corporate smell if you dare to show some current-uptodate sophistication and a bit more daring personality without offending too much. (just a little pushing the envelope, lol) Very linear indeed, well there are only 3 ingredients: Patchouli, Coriander and Sandalwood. I love Sandalwood but it can be sometimes too dominant and prefer it for winter scents (Egoiste, Musc Ravageur, Joop!, etc..) However, here the use of Sandalwood is moderate, just to add depth and a warm, balmy dimension to the green chypre dominance. A very nice modern Patchouli with linear quality projection and development into a softer, warmer, woody dry dowm. One of the Top 5 of this exclusive range.

What can I say? This is amazing ! Patchouli Imperial to me is a smoother fresher sweeter Coromandel , it made me think of Coromandel while wearing it , and made me sad I gave my Coromandel away as I found it slightly too earthy at the time ,,, well this one has all the stuff Coromadel doesn't ,,, it's smooth, soft , ultra refined with a kick of fresh sweet bergamotte and mandarins , a gourgous note of coriander , which is herbal soapy and Devine , super smooth ,not too earthy patchouli paired with ceder and warm soft sandalwood. The sandalwood smooths out the patchouli and makes this such a smooth creation. So well balanced and blended. This one was an instant love for me , if it was easier to get my hands on and a little cheaper it would be mine! I Absolutley love Chritianne1 s review.

Best patchouli I've ever tried. Just bought a little splash bottle and I can't believe I went this long without it in my life. What makes it so good is the emphasis on the smooth resinous side of patchouli and the omission of the sour, skunky, camphor side. In place of the patchouli facets most people complain about, there is instead a subtle, chilled crispness to this as if they created a patchouli/violet leaf Frankenstein monster in the lab. I love it. On fabric it leaves behind a scent that reminds me of the patchouli in Angel and A-men which indicates that this is more of a designer style, abstract patchouli than it is a raw materials focused niche style. I don't think it has much at all in common with Borneo 1834 or Coromandel (those two have alot in common, this is different IMO).

Out of all patchouli fragrance, this juice is king! Patchouli is a earthy/ woodsy note with a balsamic vib making it a well balanced fragrance. Not sweet nor a medical vib, rather an acquired taste for high quality fragrance from Dior. After awhile there's a real attractive appeal and there's a faint smokey aroma that lingers through the day. Longevity and Silage is excellent I have several patchouli fragrance from different brands. I find Dior the closest to what patchouli fragrance should smell like. Not like other brands who use the name patchouli as a way to have you buy something that otherwise wouldn't be considered a patchouli. This is a high quality niche fragrance. 9/10

I go through phases with notes where I have an obsession with a certain note and strive to get all the best fragrances with that note prominent featured so when it comes to patchouli, patchouli imperial is in the top realm of patchouli fragrances along with Serge Lutens Borneo 1834 and Chanel's Coromandel. However, this is very different from both and has this amazing smokey damp-dry contrasting woods effect that is very unique to this fragrance. The fragrance gives off the feeling of a patchouli incense in a wooden house. So glad I have a large bottle of this available since it has been discontinued. I wish Dior would bring back Patchouli Imperial.

I’m not even going to try and be sophisticated with my break down here. This is a dark and earthy scent for the true fragrance fans. I can’t ever see someone coming up to me singing high praise for this but if you want that special something that 99% of the people aren’t wearing, give this a try. The scent seems linear on me but I really think it’s a “neat” smell! I only wish they sold this in the 1.3 oz smaller bottle as that would last me for years. I’m getting a similarity to YSL M7 Oud Absolute, anyone else?

I am a fan of the patchouli note, and this is one of my absolute favorites. The quality is great, and the earthy patchouli is smoothed out by a quality sandalwood note with a touch of realistic spice from the coriander. I also get great performance from this. This is a must try for patchouli fans.

Patchouli fragrance normally make you smell like a dirty hippie, nothing wrong with it, if you are a hippy-dippy love.. But if you aren't and you love patchouli, this is for you! The only classy, elegant, charming that i know

I feel like Dior's exclusive collection can do no wrong . I am not a fan of patchouli but I absolutely love this fragrance. Super high-end. Sultry, woody. Cedar at the tail end. Fresh-Spicy.

A must for patch lovers to try Its a little sweet and little creamy and a little spicy. Great performance long lasting and good projection. BriantheFragranceNewb pretty much nailed it.

Loud and proud patchouli with spice and sandalwood. Perfectly unisex with exceptional performance. It took a few wearings for me to "get" this scent and now that I do I love it.

a very balsamic patchouli with some citrus in the top, not dirty hippie patch but a very lovely wintery scent that reminds me of a deeper Shalimar dosed with patch

very creamy ambery scent that is freshened up by herbal and green peppery notes. Highly wearable. Though unlisted on this site, there's definitely a lot of amber.
