Persephone's Patchouli

Surprised at how much I love this! This may become a signature, especially for muggy, spring to summer or summer to fall kind of days. It is refreshing but pretty. It's mildly sweet, but not sticky. I never expected this to love this so much. Definitely my favorite patchouli which is more fresh than the earthy and seems to interact with my skin beautifully as well. On my paper I would not have even tested it or thought it would be for me. The scent had a mild to moderate trail for me for most of the work day and I can still smell it as a skin scent now in the evening as well. Update: Still loving this one for a fresh yet elevated patchouli, but sometimes the rose stands out too much for my tastes at that moment. Another fresh patchouli I'm picking up for similar moments (with suede instead of rose) is TF White Patchouli.

Oh my! This was a blind buy as I found it at a really good price and tend to like patchouli so I thought why not. This is not deep dirty patchouli. This is smooth with some light fruit, maybe berries, and the patchouli softens as it dries down and shares the stage with light musk. I find this stunning. It works so well with my skin. It creates an aura of sophistication and slight sexiness yet still inviting. It draws you in. If you like lighter patchoulis I would say this is almost surely a safe blind buy. I dont really know about longevity as I just received it but I love this so much I will nit mind reapplying.

Patchouli for me is just ok, but this one is really nice. Its got that burst of plum and pomegranate to start and something green like ivy. The patchouli is not overpowering but very smooth. It’s well blended. Feels very spring but in a lush dark green sort of way. Makes me think of that blue sky behind the black trees in Botticelli's Primavera giving a sort of twilight effect.

Another banger. So far, in my sample kit, I've not been disapointed. This is really good. It's a sweet floral fragrance combined with a good dose of patchouli. Honey is pretty loud on my skin. I must say I do not see the comparisons with Straight To Heaven. On my skin Straight To Heaven is very dry and cedar forward. Perfectly unisex. Performance is very good.

An earthy patchouli that's mildly sweetened and just a hint of florals. I really find this to be a well balanced and refined scent. It sits on my skin beautifully and feels like a scented armor that follows you throughout the day. Longevity is incredible but it doesn't feel overpowering. Really one of my favorite patchouli forward fragrances in the market.

Sexy and sweet along with soke damp soil. The opening starts off with a mix of sweet fruits. Afterward the honey begins to shine and starts to produce a sweeter dry down. Meanwhile a strangely comforting aroma of soil, patchouli and wood are present throughout the whole journey. Strangely fun fragrance that presents pachouli in a more playful way.

This patchouli is gorgeous. Clean. Earthy. Warm. Definitely not a safe blind buy. It warms beautifully on the skin and lasts forever. There’s nothing dirty here. I see myself wearing this one OFTEN. Even if you’re a patchouli hater - get a sample or a decant. It’s so beautiful - it could be the patchouli that does it for you.

THIS is a modern, wearable patchouli. If you are a patch beginner, start here. Fragrance highlights the facets I love about patchouli without it being to damp or too raw. Very woody but the honey adds just a touch of sweetness. The patchouli of my dreams.

The second sexiest patchouli I’ve ever smelled, the first being Patchouli Paris by Guerlain. It is patchouli paired with a mesmerizing sweetness that is as intoxicating as it is heavenly. After sampling it a few times I knew I had to have it.

An affordable Boadicea Fire Sapphire , not as regal but in the dry down and in the air identical, same perfumer and exceptional quality! I own both and now spray elecimus first and just a few sprays if Fire Sapphire on top, perfection !

Excellent plum with earthy overtones the patchouli works very well not cheap smelling, Amazing presentation another one I wish lasted a bit longer 8/10 if your adventurous give this a try great for Rock concerts

Damp Earthy patchouli very slight woody floral feel but lasts allday and for me projects like a beast it's a winner

Sexy dirt. Plums and honey mashed into a garden. Dream of smelling like thotty dirt accomplished. 12+ hours. 11/10

Persephone’s Patchouli is a really well-done patchouli fragrance, even if you already enjoy the note. It opens with a noticeable burst of red berries and a light citrus brightness that gives it a surprisingly fresh and fruity introduction. The notes claim there is pomegrante and pulm, but it reminds me of red berries. The patchouli is already there in the background, but it’s clean and smoothed out—no earthy grit or mustiness. As it moves into the heart, it leans more floral, with soft rose and some creamy floral touches (likely peony or a similar accord). The patchouli becomes more prominent but stays balanced by those florals. It’s not dense or overwhelming—it’s always accompanied by something that softens or lifts it, so it never dominates the composition. The drydown is warm and subtly musky. The patchouli lingers throughout but mellows, supported by soft amber or wood notes. There's some honey sweetness too in there. It stays clean and modern rather than turning dark or resinous. The fragrance feels polished from start to finish. Projection is moderate with a nice, noticeable trail—not loud, but present. Longevity is solid, easily 7–9 hours on skin. It has broad appeal and doesn’t lean too masculine or feminine, which makes it very wearable for just about anyone. Season-wise, it’s best in spring and fall, though it’s versatile enough for most days outside of extreme heat. In short, this is a patchouli done with a lighter hand. It keeps the core character of the note while surrounding it with enough brightness and softness to make it easy to wear, even for people who usually avoid patchouli-heavy scents. My second FB from the brand.

I'm surprised how much I like this! This was one of several blind testers I bought on a whim and it's really nice. It's not sweaty 60's patchouli, it's more refined with a sweet earthiness that's not overpowering. The fruits and jasmine hang around for quite a bit and then you're left with a nice warm woodsy skin scent. You can layer any fruity or floral scent to this after a couple hours if it dries too masculine for your taste, I'll sometimes add Fig&Lotus from Jo Malone. I tried it first in the dead of winter and wasn't impressed, but being outside in sunny 70 degree weather for a few hours made a huge difference.

A fruity, unbalanced copy of Straight to Heaven. I’m absolutely convinced that no STH lookalike can smell or perform better than it. Whatever kind of perfume Sidonie Lancesseur has created, it remains unique. I expected Electimuss to be strong, considering the brand’s other unbalanced perfumes, but it's not even stronger than STH Extreme. It has average sillage and above-average longevity performance. The only thing I like about the brand is the bottles. The feel of the bottles is quality and heavy, making it feel expensive to hold. And indeed, it is very expensive.

A fairly green, woody patchouli is immediately front and center. It has an almost oudy sourness on initial spray (perhaps the tart pomegranate) that settles into a fruity, honeyed sweetness after a few minutes. Light florals lend a soft lift and dance with patchouli for the spotlight. Dries down to a fresh cedar skin scent. Moderately soft projection for 2-3hr, longevity 6-8hr. Compared to its sibling, Patchouli of the Underworld, this is significantly more patchouli-heavy although it somewhat fades in and out as the scent dries down.

Fourth fragrance I’ve tried so far from the Electimuss discovery set. For some reason, I didn’t expect Persephone’s Patchouli to smell the way it does. It’s a fresher, mintier patchouli mixed with the fruitiness of the plum and pomegranate. The fruits give it a slight tartness that I like, but it’s saved from being overdone by the honey. My personal taste for patchouli leans more towards darker patch scents, such as Patchouli of the Underworld, which I prefer over this.

As I have said before, I am not a fan of patchouli so I was a bit hesitant to try this fragrance. Surprisingly, patchouli is not overpowering here and I dare to say, it's been used masterfully. The opening is herbaceous, fresh and slightly peppery. The drydown is a treat that develops slowly; honey, rose, amber, sandalwood...very soft with the right amount of sweetness. A warm green caress. 🌱 This fragrance is making me see patchouli with different eyes.

I like patchouli. This doesn't disappoint in structure. The notes are nice. Plum is fleeting. You get a honeyed rose patchouli. Woody and slightly earthy. What disappoints for me is the performance. I wouldn't say its a skin scent but it sits pretty close to the skin on me. I get around 6 hours of use. While nice, I prefer Patchouli of the Underworld over this, from this brand. It may work for you. Worth a sample.
