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.

This is like a relaxant in a bottle—very calming, tranquil and zen. I find it quite translucent for a scent titled cannabis and patchouli. You really don't get the heavy pungency here. The floaty quality is certainly reminiscent of Terre D'hermes. The dry down is quite different to the opening however; goes from a green fresh aromatic opening to a thin whispery iso e super like musky woody dry down.

I got scared when I sprayed it on paper because it had a very intense zaza skunk smell, hence the name BUT the bark was bigger than the bite, on skin it’s a well pronounced, masculine, earthy, patchouli focused beauty. Every element works together perfectly, the synergy of the bergamot and the incense note is so good!!! I would probably wear it for a night out.

Don't be put off by the opening! Cannabis Patchouli completely changes from a sharp fresh medicinal green opening to an incense woody base note and remains subtle in projection for a while. It is also surprisingly light and airy for a patchouli.

Green, wet, earthy vetiver patchouli scent that somehow smells like soil, damp earth, grass, and woods. The dry down is however quite powdery and musky.

This is so good to me. It's a very palatable green earthy woody experience, and certainly has a smokey edge. I honestly don't get cannabis, but it is a beautiful interpretation. I'm sampling it for the second time. I got a smell that reminded me of that Dior Sauvage EDT dry down at some point. Probably ambroxan? It also reminds me a bit of Encre Noir, but way more enjoyable. I first sampled it months ago, and it was fighting for my top 3 from Dries. The notes seem so designer, I'm surprised by the reviews. I've got a 5ml decant now, so I might update my review if I change my mind. I can't say it's worth the premium price yet.

It's a very green smelling fragrance. It reminds me of Creed Aventus in a way, but more elegant. It's soft, yet manly. No cannabis notes, though; and I don't think this is a unisex fragrance either, more male. I'd wear it on any normal day, to work, or doing whatever. Lovely fragrance. I wouldn't wear it to a night out, I think it would fall a bit flat. 7.8/10

Straight up BO. Aspirina’s review below is spot on. I still really like it, though. A strange little work of art.

Similar to TDH but less fresh. I get a slightly cannabisish scent but not overwhelming at all.

This perfume is still more of a masculine story.

Oh god! Here we go...another cannabis fragrance. (I wish I could use the eye roll, yawn, or flip the bird emoji on here right now) However, it's not quite the tale of woe I figured it would be, that insipid, spicy, vegetal cannabis smell of a billion and one trendy and late to be trendy brands have incorporated into their repertoire in recent years. The reason it passes muster with me is the open admission of patchouli as the other dominant force in this fragrance and it's much better for it let me tell you, and that's why it doesn't get my wrath. The other reason is that the patchouli element, especially opening actually makes a pleasant and intriguing combo with the weed smell, and it's not the most annoying accord either. As it settles though the cannabis comes in and serves to sort of taint the patchouli a bit, but I suppose it kinda has to flip to give both aspects, given that it's called cannabis patchouli... duh! It continues to flip and flick between the two, which neither makes for a boring patchouli or irritating cannabis dominant perfume. All in all, I thought it was quite clever to pit perhaps the hippiest two notes/materials/accords whatever against or allied ith each other. I might just be going soft in my old age but I think the perfumer manages to soften it an create a much better perfume than I was anticipating. On a personal level I don't ant to smell like a kinda ok patchouli fragrance & definitely not like cannabis in the vegetative stage (or any other stage to be honest) so it's not for me, but I can still see a degree of merit in it. Might be for someone who likes the idea of earthy, green and cannabis as a perfume but doesn't like what the others offer, but also likes a bit of patchouli too. Worth a sniff.

This, to me at least, smells like you have just lit a joint, the woody and smoky scents and all. The angel says I should not wear this in public (or at home), given cannabis is not legal where I live, and I'd risk being evicted from my apartment or being arrested if anyone gets the wrong idea. But, man, the devil wants me to wear this to just mess people up.

Cedar. Patchouli obviously. Not smelling any weed. Why is it still so fucking sweet? Aftershave. Super woody. A little warm. Who is this for? It's generically masculine but it's so sweet good lord. I don't think this needs to exist.

Smells a bit like Vicks VapoRub

The most masculine of the DvN family. A solid-bodied dry, mossy musk with vetiver in spades. There’s cannabis in the mix, especially on first waft, but it soon matures from burning leaf into smooth hemp oil. However, hours later, is stays * just * weedy enough that if I came home smelling like this in high school, I’d have some explaining to do. It’s not offensive, but was probably the scent that jived with me the least. Longevity: I couldn’t handle any more than 4 hours, though I’m sure it lasts for much longer Mental Snapshot: You’re a businessman that hotboxed in his BMW three hours prior. When Cecil from accounting asks what you’re wearing you say it’s patchouli. (Cecil wouldn’t know a patchouli if it bit him on the ass). Kurt from marketing knows, though. He gave you an appreciative nod in the elevator. tl;dr: four-hundred and twenty, blasé it 🍁💼

A provocative name to make the pearl clutchers gasp! But really, there isn’t much ‘cannabis’ to this fragrance. It’s an acidic green on top, and a rich vetiver below. I’m not the biggest fan of this fragrance, I can only imagine an overdose of Vetiver and Patchouli extractives lead to a somewhat muddied character in the mid, and not in a petrichor mud way, just a flat, static ridden body of fragrance. Definitely a more unique fragrance, but I don’t think the time was considered for overall drydown. It feels like the focus here was, ‘just get me a bitter green vetiver and let’s called it we*d’
