BOSS The Collection Cashmere & Patchouli

I can't believe how few people own this jewel, and today again, I am the only one wearing it within the online fragrantica community. I am delightfully pleased by this fragrance, and it made it to my loved ones in a minute and I got compliments right away. Someone around here said that it is a unisex patchouli, but in my opinion this is totally masculine, although as I have said before we should all wear whatever we like regardless. I sprayed this one on in new years eve and lasted on me until the second day of the new year, with a very nice mellowed down sillage, which is rather very noticeable in the first couple hours of wearing it. I was expecting something like this when I bought Essence de Patchouli by Perris Monte Carlo, and sadly, disappointment was the only thing I got with that one. In this Boss, obviously the predominant note is Patchouli, but the cashmere blend in the base notes is remarkable, very nicely done, and I feel special since I am the only one wearing within the Fragrantica community that is online... Now I want to try the other fragrances from the collection.

OMG I love this! I urgently need a bottle! My boyfriend was wearing this when he came back home, he picked it up in the Dubai duty free and it is to die for! There must be something else in this fragrance apart from Patchouli because there is some serious layers to this fragrance! The patchouli is obviously the prominent note, and it is a gorgeous patchouli that smells rich, dense and hypnotic. Guessing there's cashmere in this fragrance, which I'm guessing is adding the slight trace of soft sexuality to it. This fragrance is beyond beautiful, but no where sells it in the UK :( guys you really need to smell this hidden gem! EDIT: Didnt realise house of Fraser sell this beauty! Asking price of £120 though! It's more than worth it though!

Had smelled this in a Duty Free shop in Munich and really liked it, but resisted buying...admittedly because it was a Hugo Boss, and also somewhat pricey for a designer frag. Finally put some on a month ago and was very impressed. The scent is really masculine and fresh. I get very good longevity and really enjoy the whiffs I get throughout the day. It really is a great versatile scent, well-formulated and quite a performer. I love wearing this with a suit and receive compliments when I do. Would highly recommend as a business or evening scent, especially during colder weather. If price is a consideration, look at Davidoff Zino...very similar scent but darker with a slightly "dirty" note.

BOSS The Collection Cashmere & Patchouli You need to like Patchouli to like this. Very dominant Patchouli but not raw. It gets supported with nuances of aromatic and muskiness that's warm and soft from the cashmere. The scent isn't loud but not too soft. I'll say it's pretty niche and probably an easier wear compared to Javanese Patchouli by Zegna. Presentation: It comes in a very nice black box with cashmere on box and the names on the cashmere. It's also in a thick black cashmere pouch. 50ml size. Unimpressive Plastic cap. Price is inexpensive for a Boss Collection series.

I can't believe this isn't more popular. It's a sophisticated, clean patchouli fragrance. It would suit a smartly dressed, individualistic person; perhaps a tweed and silk clad dandy, or a hippie who sold out and became a capitalist. For work, nights out or formal occasions, but could work just as well with t-shirt and jeans. It's not the slightest bit butch, so your average gruff, whiskered mechanic or lumberjack probably won't be able to pull this one off, unless it's their wedding day.
