H&M Makassar Patchouli

This one is the best of the HM line, however it is also the most niche parfum HM has to offer. To me it smells woody, dark and almost INK like, but in a good cozy way. Patchouli is definitely there. It is potent, leaves a fair trace of silage also. Could be unisex, but is slightly leaning towards mens, however I could see woman wearing this in the evening also. Not a crowd pleaser, more of a sophisticated and if I may say"dark" fragrance. I have it in my drawer as I could not resist to buy it as it is so much different from anything else I own. Surprisingly it reminds me of Gucci PH1 and Even Dirty Eglish, albeit sweetness removed. It is a dark, exceptionally well made, potent fragrance that could work very well in the winter. Potency 10/10 Silage 9/10 PS. In my opinion this could mix/layer well with some OUD based sweeter scents. If you have a sweet OUD frag, layering this with it could produce interesting results.

I first got the oil version of this, but since I loved it so much I had to get the real deal as well. Starts off very dry and woody, like an old library in an oak forest haha. Then proceeds to sweeten as it blends in with the warmth of your skin, obviously patchouli and vanilla, but also a dreamy floral scent in there, I smell a white floral. Lovely for this price and lasts a very long time (could still detect it close to my skin the morning after!!) Bought a few as gifts as well, as this seems very easy to love. Please give this a try if you love patchouli!

My Review is for perfume oil, I get dry sweet patchouli. Vanilla is very prominent in the opening, lavender in the dry down. I'm very happy with this blind buy!

unreal how good this line is. i've been using mine so sparingly, seriously so sad that they're discontinued.. if you can still find some- definitely buy

This smells a lot like Amber of Yemen from El Nabil! (which is our of stock everywhere). I blind bought it. Happy I did!
