Cannabis Patchouli

Well it doesn’t smell like weed, but it does smell great. This is bringing exactly the best aromatic parts of G Water and turning the volume up from 2 to 6. It’s green. It’s wet. It’s a Pacific coastal forest first thing in the morning after the marine layer has burned off and the sun is shining but it’s still chilly out. The greenery is glistening, practically glowing and the softest breeze keeps the air circulating without moving anything but the tall native grasses. This is the forest at Point Reyes after spending a cold night at Sky campground, crawling out of your cozy tent and heading down to get some fresh water for coffee. Nothing here screams masculine to me, it’s genderless and smells equally awesome on both me and my husband. Do I wish it were a bit louder? Yes. Do I wish it smelled like weed? I dunno, because it is what it is and what it is very calm, naturalistic and meditative and perfect in its own quiet way.

Opens with nutty, seedlike cedar scent with a hint of skin scent musc. Develops into a bitter incense. After warming up, it softens and musk starts to peek through. Afterwards patchouli takes the stage, which is the part i love. It still has a soft woody musk undertone. It gets a bit boring and close to the skin then and not much happening after that. Dry down is a angular, high quality musk. Bitter, medicinal, severe. It gives older daddy vibes. However, there’s a sense of softness above all the bitter severity. But after 30 minutes or so, all the complexities leave and all you got left is softness. I like the scent from afar, not so much up close. I’ve definitely smelled this from other brands before so not sure if the price point is justifiable. Does not smell like weed. Moderate sillage, moderate longevity

Cannabis patchouli is astonishingly good. I've remarked previously about the smoothness and refinement in this line of perfumes, and it occurs to me now that what sets DVN apart, is that they achieve that smoothness without resorting to sweetness. This fragrance is so mature, woody, green, and mossy that it shouldn't be my thing - and it isn't, at least not to the extent that I would purchase - but it also demonstrates to me the apex of such a note profile. Other patchouli-forward perfumes have performed too green, too spicy, or too warm for my taste, but I honestly cannot fault Cannabis patchouli. This is a fragrance confident in itself, with no excesses in any direction. The scent bubble is a calming wood-and-incense space, like being in a Finnish sauna. Longevity around 5-6 hours.

I’m not an experienced reviewer, but I genuinely don’t understand the negativity in some of these comments. A few people describe this as boring and honestly, that makes no sense to me. Boring? If this is boring, then I must be able to fly. There is absolutely nothing average or dull about this fragrance. It’s distinctive, beautiful, and incredibly refined. The notes are perfectly blended, creating an intoxicating, almost addictive scent. To me, this is the kind of fragrance you wear on a night out, when you’re dressed with intention, feeling confident, sexy, and stylish. It makes you feel attractive and slightly edgy, and most importantly, unmistakably unique. No one else will smell like you.

This fragrance has me in a trance. It’s not pretty or dramatic, demanding attention. It’s subtle and wild... a little dirty from the patchouli. The dry down is soft and beautiful when the warm musk melds into your skin. There’s an earthiness, a dampness, but also a hidden sensual note. The hint of cedar makes you feel like you’re in the woods at night, not far from the ocean. I have fragrance allergies, yet this doesn’t heighten my sensitivities at all. To me, it’s a comforting scent.
