Patchouli

Gently sweet, fruity pink pepper, not fiery and brazen, but soft and luscious as it makes contact with my skin. As the fusion of warmth takes over, the musky character of labdanum creates an incensed aura. The greenness of iris and violet leaf are subtle but give this woody fragrance a soft, beautiful clarity. Patchouli is infused throughout in the most feminine way. Typically, I find patchouli somewhat aggressive (which I like), but as this fragrance settles, it creates a natural, subtley sweet, wooded rose of the most alluring kind that beckons rather than demands--gently arresting and hypnotic. Beautifully animated and full bottle worthy.

Incense and patchouli ... almost always a winning combination! That’s the first thing I smell when I apply this. Gradually, as the scent develops, I start smelling the labdanum and woods along with a sweet, clear, almost fruity note. The fruity, woody patchouli lasts for a few hours, after which it dies down to an unusual candy-like scent. The sillage is moderate, as is the longevity. Esteban has been a big surprise for me. I have loved every one of their perfumes that I’ve tried, and Patchouli goes on that ever-expanding list.

I discovered this fragrance through Fragrantica and after reading the wonderful reviews I ordered it online right away. To my nose Patchouli by Esteban is a very smooth patchouli dashed with pink pepper - woody and musky with just enough rose to sweeten and feminize. I love how this perfume evolves from something nearly unisex to something soft and sweet like candy. I'm so glad I took a chance on this perfume. I love it!

I'm so glad I bought it. It's marvelous and magic. Patchouli sounds really great and not irritating even on my pale skin. It's even strange that this EDT lasts all day long. In my opinion it's one of the most sexy perfumes.

its patchulie alright.. with alot of gum resin or mastic ..its almost masculine ..clean.. patchulie.. not the dirty earthy type.. its not velvety smooth.. its a screechy patchulie initially ..its dry crisp. .takes time to develop and mellow down ..its a beautiful..a full perfume that lacks something.. its great for layering..its very pungent.. use with caution on an empty stomach ..or in the morning when your sense of smell is at its highest.. a powerful smell me from a mile type of perfume ..that will fill half a room ..it turns inscnsy..almost bakhour like.. and maybe it has some labednaum or myrrh defenetly resinous..it settles down better than when t s first applied..a layering tool.. an ideal perfume for middle eastern people who love to wear big fragrances for both genders ..it doesn't disappoint ..it holds its air space..perfect for layering or using with bakhour it will last and hold on to clothes for days found it at bloomingdales for about 100 us $ for a 50 ml edp the entire line is intriguing with so many different orientals and florientals more or less with the same vibe and intensity ..i wish i can have them all for layering some good stuff i liked the ones that came in 2008 in the golden bottles all 3 were relay nice
