Patchouli Noisette

Patchouli is pretty much the only star here, and Les Indemodables have teased and cajoled facets from it I've not experienced before. This opens with a sweetness that seems almost like berries soaked in some kind of sweet liqueur, yet an earthy woodiness, verging on dank, lurks in the background. And while we're on a roll, how about a tree-sappy resinous touch that hints at sharp-camphorous. The only thing a fail to get is hazelnut as an obvious odour. As things dry down (which it does in a fairly linear fashion) the deepness of the blend, the angles, each of the aforementioned facets, are smoothed out by a soft blanket of creaminess.... The hazelnut effect? Anyhow, I am impressed. A solitary note taken simultaneously in multiple directions, yet resolving itself into a very, very wearable whole. Long lasting, interesting, and what will certainly make for a stupendous Winter-wear! Tested from the official Les Indemodables fragrance sample set (super value for money!)

It's great after the opening phase, where it turns more constant. I can then get the noisette in its green version (like scratching the coating of some nut, maybe a crude chestnut), not very gourmand (but cacao is still noticeable), blended with an elegant and clean patchouli (and probably many synthetics including akigalawood or similar?) this phase is amazing. Patchouli is not musty and lacks the earthiness from the natural one. It has moderate sillage. Sticks to clothing intensely until the next day. I get at the beginning a strong spicy note, which for me overshadows the patchouli, and it's too similar to many niche parfums launched last 2-3 years. After some uses, I think it's a great perfume, strong, with character, could by one, but still it's pretty expensive and I would have liked some more classic earthy patchouli feeling. I am surprised by the greeness though.

Love this! Best from the house on my skin. On paper, some of the others caught my attention, but they were very different on wearing. On paper, this is just a really nice patchouli. But on my skin, it is so clean and creamy with an underlying nuttiness and faint vanilla in the far background. My skin sweetens everything up. 3 hours into the dry down, it becomes more of a gourmand scent. I get whiffs of cinnamon-spiced sweetness in the air even tho it’s still patch up close. Hour 5 it’s full on patchouli dessert mode. Not sweet, but it morphs into more of a “fruity accord with cinnamon wrapped in a pastry.” Wonderful surprise. I love it.

This is lovely. At first you can get fooled by it and perceive it as an easy to like patchouli forward fragrance, especially if you smell it up close. However, if you wear it or smell it in the air the hazelnut is very much prominent. It adds a nutty, slightly sweet facet to the patchouli. Haven’t smelled that twist on a patchouli fragrance before.

Patchouli Noisette Les Indemodables این پچولی خیلی شبیه پچولی الوعده و منو خیلی بعد از نیم ساعت یاد اون انداخت شروعش خیلی هارشه دوسش نداشتم اصلا ولی در ادامه یه فضای اوزونیک خیلی جالب داره که زمختی پچولی رو میگیره و راحت پوش تر میکنه کار رو. خیلی انتخاب همه پسند و پر بازخوردی میتونه باشه به نظرم برای یه عطر پچولی محور

Patchouli Noisette by Les Indémodables walks in like a memory — rich earth and roasted hazelnut, hand in hand. It hums low and warm, like soil after rain, like silk brushing skin. There is wisdom in its quiet depth, grace in its shadow. It does not shout; it remembers.

I was caught by surprise This fragrance is incredible Right now it’s my favourite from the brand Delightful - different - alluring and cozy at the same time Unfortunately it was a little tame but not enough to destroy my experience I enjoyed it very much

متفاوت ترین پچولی !! پچولی که با فندق ظاهرا طبیعی صیقل خورده و تمام وجه های تیز و خشن پچولی رو ازش گرفته و رام و دوست داشتنیش کرده و من که طرفدار پچولی نیستم بسیار دوست داشتنی و پوشیدنی شده فقط چون اهل پچولی نیستم : 8 از 10

At the begining opens with an amazing noissete note, then a bit sweet and spicy , to setle down on an amazing patchouli note. The BEST patchouli fragrance i have tried and super long lasting

Amazing. Great patchouli. Agree with a lot of the positive reviews. I get this great milk skin note in the dry down that is just fantastic. Thumbs up.

Patchouli is one of those accords that I'm impartial to. I can take it or leave it. Of what seems like the hundreds of patchouli-focused perfumes I've tried over many, many years, there are very, very few, less than 10, that I can recall quickly that have moved me to the point of wanting them, and even fewer that have made it into my full bottle collection. I'm sure there are several more I thought were/are quite good, but patchouli is such a forgettable and all-too-frequently mishandled accord for me that I'm not going to spend a significant amount of time or effort trying to recall more. I suppose I'm just very sensitive to it. Les Indemodables might have given us one more that I could add to that very small list of mine. Although, to my nose, what makes this perfume truly notable is not the patchouli, but the noisette (hazelnut). This perfume is very straightforward, it's all hazelnut and patchouli, so there will not be much for me to say about it. The patchouli in PN is superbly well balanced. Most patchoulis are either too sweet and gourmand, or too dirty and earthy, or too green and camphoraceous. When a patchouli accord is too much of any of those characteristics, to my nose it becomes very off-putting and a "bad patchouli". Unlike, say, citrus, which can go the route of sour and acidic, or to the other end of the spectrum and be juicy and sugary sweet, with any extreme I can like it well enough. With patchouli I do not like it when at any extreme; it absolutely needs to be balanced. In PN, it's superbly balanced: not too sweet, not too dirty, not too green, just the right amount of pepper, just the right amount of cured tobacco type notes, just the right amount of grassy and hay like notes. So, it's a very lovely patchouli accord in a sea of perfumes with bad patchouli accords. It gets a lot of points in my book for that reason. But that doesn't make it particularly notable. The second and primary reason for really being taken with this perfume is the hazelnut accord at the top. At no point is this hazelnut sweet, which nearly all perfumes try to present it as, nor is it overly bitter and chemically, which it frequently comes across as too. Again, going back to balance, the hazelnut is perfectly nutty and fatty, a bit woody, and a bit sweet and caramelly but naturally so. I very nearly see the creamy whiteness of hazelnut when I smell the opening of PN. String the hazelnut and the patchouli together and you get a perfume that is very simple to the point of basically being linear, but the quality of the ingredients, and the technical care gone into blending them, are so good it doesn't need to be multifaceted and complex. This is excellent, and might be joining the very small rank of patchouli perfumes in my collection very soon.

#573 in my "Tour de Fragrance" I'm closing in on 600 scents I've evaluated and I've encountered nothing like this, but that's probably because it never occurred to me to select a patchouli forward scent. I must have over 100 scents on the shelf that have patchouli as a note, but not as the main feature of the scent. I have no experience with any of the scents in the "Reminds me of" section as it never occurred to me I'd wear a scent that's patchouli focused like any of those listed. I can't help associating the smell of patchouli with aging sixties hippie chicks and houses perfumed with bowls of potpourri. I just need to get over it, because this is very unique, and depending on the reaction I get, I may wear this more often than I would have thought. The hazelnut scent is more one of unripe hazelnuts, not ready to roast and eat. The patchouli leaf scent is as green as green gets. My feelings about this keep swinging back and forth between feminine and masculine, but I think it's more for men. It's not quite the sort of chypre we experienced in the 80's, but to me it's very much in that ballpark. I am not saying this smells like a clone of any of the scents I am about to list, but if you like any of these, you'll probably like this "Patchouli Noisette": Geoffrey Beene Bowling Green, Colors de Benneton Man, Chanel Pour Monsieur, Xerjoff Fiero, Dior Eau Sauvage, Lomani Pour Homme, Drakkar Noir, Gucci Nobile, Houbigant Duc De Verins, Alfred Sung Homme. This stuff is less complex than many I've just listed, but this would fit on the shelf of anyone that also has any of those scents. It's in that wheelhouse. This stuff projects, mightily, so not for close spaces. I did one tiny little spritz and my office is patchouli and ambergris wall-to-wall. It's not obnoxious after about fifteen minutes, but it ain't goin' nowhere no time soon. So I probably would wear this on a day when I'm sitting outdoors at a restaurant or coffee shop. In the car only if it's a convertible or you can have the windows down. Never in the office unless it's an open plan.

It’s a clean almost sterilized patchouli with a hazelnut gourmand touch. I find it quite sexy which isn’t typical with Les Indemodables. Many of their perfumes seem to be showcases of ingredients from their lab. This is interesting a little intimate I prefer a pronounced sillage but it’s not bad. The price point €220 euros for 50ml on the website is already high I believe our local retailer is selling for around $290. TBH that’s ridiculous at least make it a 100ml format for that amount or $200 for the 50ml. It is really close to Serge Lutens’ bell jars and Chanel Les Exclusif prices and both those are 75ml while also to be frank more appealing to me personally scent wise. I even got this on offer from a GCC wholesaler at €150 while the 100ML Frederic Malle range was only €10 more except for POAL and desert gems. Brand needs to revisit pricing and bottle sizes. Do a 30ml at $100 and 100ml at $220. That’s fair enough pricing. My friends that tested the brand also came to similar conclusions of pretty perfumes but not gut moving making you splurge coupled with very high pricing.

شروع عطر با فضای درهم و برهم و الکلی که بوی ناخوشایند دارویی بهم می‌داد مثل زمان ای که نُت قهوه یا شکلات توی عطر باشه،من رو پس زد البته این فضا خیلی ماندگار نبود و بعد از 6 7 دقیقه کم رنگ شد دفعه اول بدون دیدن نُت های عطر تست اش کردم و دفعات بعد هم با اطلاع از نت ها؛ در نهایت هیچ وقت بوی فندق رو نگرفتم ازش یعنی نه خبری از بوی آجیلی،برشته،دودی فندق بود و نه اون طعم فندق تازه شیرینی عطر به نظرم چیزی شبیه به تونکا و مُشک بود خصوصا وقتی به پایان عطر می‌رسیم این بوی پودری و نرم بیشتر حس میشه و یادآورد تونکا و مُشک بود برام اما پچولی چهره‌ی سبز و بدون خشونت ای رو نشون میده اصلا زمخت و علفی نیست انگار صیقل خورده و شیرین شده نمی‌دونم این شیرینی از جنس خود پچولی هست یا تاثیر نت فندق که می‌خواسته فندق تازه رو بازسازی کنه اما هرچی که هست این شیرینی به مرور به سمت خاکی و پودری شدن میره اما بسیار کنترل شده و همون تونکایی ابدا من رو با این قیمت و حجم و رایحه ترغیب به خرید نکرد اما پرفورمنس بسیار خوب ای داره و پررنگ ترین نکته‌ی مثبت عطره *************** scent:7/10 longevity:10/10 sillage:9.5/10 purchase value:2.5/10 ********* overall:7.2/10

I’m a big fan of patchouli perfumes, when they’re done right, and Patchouli Noisette is a brilliant one. I wouldn’t go as far to say it’s among the best of the best, but it’s pretty damn close and you could do a lot worse. It beautifully celebrates this wonderfully divisive material. It starts off instantly quite dank and earthy with a sour herbal tinge, which soon becomes smoother, almost creamy, inky and chocolatey with a pronounced sharp nuttiness. The dry herbal facet persists, as does the sharpness which contrasts the darker aspects very well. Patchouli is part of the mint family and you definitely get that here, it doesn’t smell particularly minty but there’s a definite sharpness to it. I’m really enjoying wearing this but I do wish it had something additional to expand upon the scent profile further. Although I have a feeling this might grow on me.

Les Indemodables' whole thing as a house is their use of naturals, which explains why Patchouli Noisette comes the closest to just straight patchouli oil of any alcohol-based fragrance I've tried. If you prefer a chocolate-y patchouli over the smell of the straight botanical, almost minty patchouli essence of oil, then this might not be for you. Also VERY strong until pretty far into the drydown (also like patchouli oil).

All I could smell in the beginning was amber and a heavy dose of cypriol. As time goes by this sweet chocolatey patchouli comes upfront. To be honest I enjoyed the wearing experience. The notes here can be misleading though

This is so slept on. An absolute masterpiece of a patchouli fragrance. Unbelievably balanced with a chocolate accord from the hazelnut. It’s also an amazing performer. Going to add this right alongside Vanille Havane. 9/10

Opens as an earthy, dirty patchouli that turns medicinal on my skin. As it dries down, the hazelnut begins to come forth. Quality juice, and long lasting. Not my thing though.

Patchouli Bomb ! It is a Linear Patchouli Fragrance, In my opinion, It has high quality but It is not special . The Patchouli note is dominant in this perfume, It is too heavy and boring. I tried it in store and I received a sample of that. It is very Expensive , There are better Complex Patchouli perfumes in the market with reasonable price. This is not my cup of Tea, because It is heady and strong, I prefer Complex perfumes. Longevity is very good. Rating : 7 / 10
