Patchouli Magnetik

Holy Balls of Fire, this is a Patchouli/Gardenia Bomb 💣 💥☄️ Don’t get me wrong, it’s beautiful but I sprayed a tiny, and I mean A TINY amount on my hand and 12+ hours later, after several hand washings and a whole day, it still smells strong!!!!! What the heck is in this???? It isn’t your typical patchouli (at least to my nose), the gardenia in it is VERY potent and has an “oily” quality if that makes sense? I like it but holy macaroni, I cannot imagine spraying this more than once on me, I’d probably die...??? The oily-ness/dirty-ness comes from the earthy patchouli, and the leather, I suppose? But the gardenia is also quite indolic and “wet/dirty”, at least to my nose... The peach/vanilla/benzoin/woods-y notes are more of a background accompaniment to the patchouli...This is something else, I tell you!! 😝 Perfectly unisex and definitely for someone who has no qualms about announcing themselves waaaaaayyyyy before they enter the room 😅 For the moment, I will keep my sample and try it again when the weather cools down a bit. I think this will feel different when it’s cold outside? All that being said, this is beautiful and masterfully blended. You just need to have a strong love for earthy/floral/sweet but “oily” smells...I don’t know how else to describe this scent 😅😅 just be warned, once you have sprayed it, there’s no turning back 😂😂😂

Wow, the reviews on this are all over the place. The Patchouli is not the harsh biting patch I expected...it's very smooth and, in my case, rather linear. I smell no gardenia in this, so the blend must be extraordinary, and maybe a healthy dollop of a bitter peach and a dry vanilla, which comes forward on the dry down.. This is NOT a sweet scent at ALL. It's very smooth and dry. I like it a lot. Very unisex and long lasting, without being overwhelming. Nothing to offend. I would wear this year round, myself. The timid can keep it to the cold months. 9/10 overall. ( I would give it a solid 10 but it is rather pricey).. EDIT- SO...after an overnight and all day use, the patchouli disappears and I was left with a peachy, sweeter than expected, skin scent. The lotion that works with this is vanilla! I thought it would be patchouli but no... I also had to reapply this a couple times. It gets very "quiet" on ME, after a few hours. Dropping it to 7/10 overall. Won't pay full price again for it. If I can't get a discount, it won't be worth it.

I very much dislike Tom Ford's Black Orchid fragrances so I wasn't too excited to try this one. Yes, the Black Orchid dna is there, but I enjoy Patchouli Magnetik waaay more than Black Orchid. Even though I find fragrances like this to be quite polarizing, this is a very well blended fragrance and comes off as very smooth. As it dries down I find this to become even more enjoyable! This may not be my favorite fragrance of all time, but a Fragrantica score of 3.08 is absurd. I have the Maison Crivelli discovery set so if Patchouli Magnetik was this good I can't wait to try the rest! This is not a full bottle blind buy, but if you enjoy Black Orchid do yourself a favor and get a sample of this. If anything, take note that Quentin Bisch is the perfumer behind this as he is one of the best up and coming perfumers out there with many great fragrances credited to him. You may or may not be head over hills for Patchouli Magnetik, but know you are smelling a very high quality piece of art that anyone can appreciate.

This one was an instant love for me. I stuck with one spray due to warnings about the concentration. This is not a dark, mega earthy overwhelming patchouli. This is that elusive chocolate cakey patchouli. It reminds me slightly of another Quentin Bisch patchouli fragrance: Angel Muse. Just from the patchouli/chocolate elements. They're pretty different though. I tried this without reading the notes. I got chocolate cakey patchouli, something fruity, and an underlying creaminess. It was not at all overpowering at one spray. It was strong but not something so strong that I was self conscious about it. I wore it to dinner and it mellowed out to a smoother, creamier scent as the night went on. Aside from patchouli, I found the notes were not that distinct individually. I'm reading the negative reviews and I don't understand them at all. This is my favorite Maison Crivelli I've tried so far as I work my way through most of their house.

Not for the faint of heart, this is challenging scent.The patchouli, leather (or rubber) are at the fore front. The patchouli is earthy and chocolaty, and everything really sets the scene. To me this perfume matches the story they were trying to express- Beaming hot day on an island, there are flower petals packed on the ground and peach trees with their fruit ready for picking (maybe even too ripe). Suddenly lightning, seconds later it starts to rain. People are trying to avoid the rain, quickly jump on their motorcycles. It's my favourite, I love it! Spray lightly. Best in humid mid temperatures. Update: Seems very 'sticky' in the fall

Wow! Patchouli is one of my least favourite scents. Monsieur by Frederic Malle is the only one I own and like and even then the ride on lasts 4ish hours before it morphs into something I don’t like. This however is the only other exception. I found a number of MC scents I love (mainly florals which amazingly I normally am not into) and actually ordered this totally by accident. It was a pleasant surprise - to me it’s a dirty chocolaty patch with a hint of peach. I love it but alas it’s all relative. I really don’t like Patchouli so it’s going to be moved on but hats of to MC for such a well made short joyous ride...

This is definitely one to try on your skin before deciding. It smells completely different on me than it does on a blotter. I've had people (other fragheads) guess what it was and they were SHOCKED it was Patchouli Magnetik. On me it's a very fresh peach with some light floral and marine salinity. The patchouli is almost imperceptible which is confusing as that note is very strong on the blotter/in the bottle. I NEVER would have purchased this testing in store, but I gave it a try since I got the full discovery set of the Crivelli extrait line. It ended up being the one that smelled the best on me.

This is gorgeous. Sweet, airy, uplifting, long lasting, strongly projecting. And unique. I have smelled prob thousands of fragrances since my teenage years, when I started to wear perfume, but even more since 2014 when I became a low key collector and nothing in niche, designer, arab, dupe, cheapie world smells like this. The idea of thunderstorm def fits, cause there is this strong airiness in it. Love from first sniff, I am getting a bottle. No earthiness or bitterness, I dislike fragrances that smell like that. Projection and lasting power is what makes it worth the price for me as well.

One of the most elegant cakey patch's I have smelt. Along with the vanilla/benzoin blended expertly, it gives the feel of a melting dessert with a hint of fruitiness on top likely coming from the white peach note. You can definitely smell the extrait de Parfum concentration in this too as it lasts over 12 hours on my skin. 3 sprays max and you're set. I think if you enjoy Jovoy style patch's or even Dior's prive patch imperial then you'll appreciate this.

This does not smell good close up to my nose, but I imagine the sillage is much more pleasant. Very, very strong patchouli with a fake peach note up front. Very camphorous. A travel spray should last you years. Edit: the dry down is much nicer. I'm not a patchouli fan but do enjoy this. I sprayed a half spray from a tiny sample and even sprayed another perfume on top of it when I slept and 24 hours and one shower later I can still smell it on my arm.

I bought myself a discovery set to see which one i liked best after receiving a sample of Hibiscus Mahajad. I ended up testing the Patchouli Magentik. It's definitely in your face. It is not for everyone i think It could be headache inducing for some. Now the pros : on me it is simply delightful full intense floral and fruity and somehow intoxicating... This is one of those fragrances if it works for you ; you love it if not you despise it bitterly.

Just as an update to my past review, I've been wearing the sample I got and I think it being an insanely long lasting radiating scent is a double edged sword! I love the smell BUT I wouldn't want to have it linger for so long while I'm having lunch. And that's just with one spray!!! I had to scrub it off because I can't eat my chicken kebab properly without taking in whiffs of peach and patchouli. Sample it first and really wear it for a day :)

I dont undertand the hate in the comments. its furity as the whole line of MC . similar vibes to Oud Marauja and Habsicus. The smell is mostly peachy while the opening has a hint of pachouli . it can give a feeling of leather at the end but its not . applied one spray on myskin and it was an explosive spray , my friends kept saying they only smell this perfume and it lasts even after i took a hot bath . love it and its a keep .

opening is acidic detergent spicy vinegar, liquorice, soap, rotten peach, soil, metallic, expired milky. as it dries it becomes bitter leaf soil, magazine page, still acidic soapy, perhaps there's a distant hint of leather- maybe... dries down stomach churning - in a pleasurable way, rotting flower peach, detergent acid... expired milk love this one. lol.

What a stunner of a fragrance! I've had this for several months now and it's a hands down favourite concoction, cannot understand the negative reviews. Yes it's sweet but in a deep, sexy way, definitely nothing juvenile about this mix. Beautiful work QB! I receive positive compliments every single time I wear PM, beautiful work once again Quentin Bisch.

Very strong chocolate-peachy patchouli. Niche scent ! There is no doubt in that. The old school dogs will understand this perfume and how unique is . If you are new in the world of fragrances you will probably hate it. I rate it 9/10 ! Very good one from Maison Crivelli and Q.Bisch. That's dirty patchouli but stays on your skin sexy and cool .

Coffeebean and Tea Leaf's African Sunrise tea as a perfume! It also brings out some nostalgia for me because that tea specifically I drank a lot of in college before I got into coffee. I kept the test strip in my wallet when I sampled this. 3 weeks later even after having thrown the strip away, the smell still faintly lingers in my wallet.

So far everything I’ve tried from Mason Civelli has been a beast. I ended up overspraying as it gets stronger on the dry down. To me this is a lovely unisex set that I would wear a year-round get a strong that’s a little green. Definitely not something I would blind buy but don’t trust the reviews and sample it for yourself.

All the comments about “milk,” there’s no milk note in here. I thought it was lovely.....it’s not an “easy to wear,” so if you can’t wait for the final dry down, stick to the mass-appealing scents like BR540, Aventus for Her, Delina etc. This one is a tad sophisticated for the masses.
