Vanille Patchouli Eau de Parfum

This was my first blind buy but based on the notes it was safe to assume I'd at least like this. I was right and this is exactly what it says. Vanilla with patchouli. An amazing combination as a concept already and wonderfully executed in this. The vanilla in this is perfectly balanced and gives it a sweetness that the patchouli and sandalwood even and keep it from being a fragrance I'd classify as sweet. There's sweetness but I wouldn't call it a sweet fragrance, if that makes sense. The patchouli is hard to describe because patchouli is a new one for me. l've heard people describe it as "chocolate-y" in the reviews I read before I decided to order and I somewhat agree but to my nose there's something that also feels a little wet and earthy in the best way. All together this is slightly sweet, soft and woody, earthy and with some smokiness that I'm unsure of the origin. 100% unisex. Anyone can wear this. It goes somewhat linear and stays relatively simple but this is something I love. The opening is a little "strong" but I think it's still amazing. Personally this is a solid 9/10 for me and I'm glad I purchased this.

Christmas in a bottle just like Chazas says. I recently bought the very popular and trendy By the Fireplace by Maison Martin Margiela and the first thing that came to my mind was Vanille Patchouli. They are not the same or even very similar. They are supposed to share only the Vanilla. I have dozens of Vanilla fragrances and none reminds me of any of these. What they do have similar is the vibe and the perception that both create: Extremely cozy, either for by the fireplace, by the Christmas tree or both. By the Fireplace is smokier, not as much as Bentley Absolute which is more like campfire type of smoke but indoor fireplace. Yet I get very much the same idea at using Molinard. If you love the one, I bet you will love the other. They are both in the same league. Lovely niche unisex Fall Winter Masterpieces, Performance wise they are both very good, but Molinard lasts longer and has more projection. Apart from that Molinard will cost you half the price. I'm glad I have both.

Noticed different versions of Vanille Patchouli. Tested and seen on the internet bottles with "red color juice" which lasted incredibly well. Own and seen bottles which have almost "clear slightly pink'ish color juice" similar to Cuir or Rose, and this one with clear juice smell wonderful and identical to a red color juice bottles, but the performance is at least twice weaker, yet it still lasts very well on clothes with soft projection. It is really interesting and I think only first bottles had this red color juice same as Patchouli which lasted very well. In some reviews and presentations of Vanille Patchouli there was red and clear juice bottles, go figure. Other than that, absolutely adore Vanille Patchouli, it is so smooth, pleasant and warm, sweet and a little dusty, such a happy and cozy scent, real Christmas in a bottle. Even though the scent leans more to feminine side, it is still very unisex in my opinion and I really enjoy it as a guy, but on a girl, SUBLIME!

Smells like these little scratch n sniff things that used to be around during the Halloween season. I can't describe it any other way. I believe the scratch n sniff things were supposed to smell like a witch. I wish I could remember what the things were called. Sometimes I think there were stickers too with the same smell. This would be back in the mid-late 80s. I'm not sure I want to smell like that so I'm returning this to seller. And the village n longevity left a lot to be desired.

Sweet smelling fragrance. I liked it, not as much as Vanille Fruitee but VF is more feminine and, though it states is unisex, I'm not sure if I could pull it so this one might suit me better, the only issue against buying it is that it reminded me immediately to my Muglers, so it may be a redundant scent. It does seem to have good longevity judging by the paper strip's lingering smell. Warning: forgot to review it the same day, I think is being now like 2 weeks.

Blind buying again, this time I bought three Molinard fragrances: Cuir, Habanita and Vanille Patchouli. To my nose, Vanille Patchouli is sweet and creamy with a smooth patchouli note. I don't know if it's only me, but this scent makes me think of white chocolate, a creamy, smooth and soft white chocolate melting in my mouth. So yummy and delicious. An absolutely scrumptious fragrance from Molinard.

Walked into the Molinard boutique on Rue St-Honoré and tried a few of the perfumes. I came away with the Figue that day, but was always thinking about the Vanille Patchouli as well. I normally wouldn't touch a patchouli scent, but this is soft and round and yummy. You can splash it on as much as you want, or combine it with something else, it's an amazing layer that creates warmth. Love it.

First sniff : Interlude Man but less harsh...more emphasis on the vanilla..but nevertheless .. i like to call it 'Interlude Soft for Men'...i like it a lot ...it also has a coca cola twist i find My wife says i just/only smell like warm vanilla pudding...but that's a good thing no ? :O) Loving it everyday a bit more...so glad i bought it 8,5/10

Have had this for almost a year; soft & minty chocolatey patchouli and powdery vanilla, smells like a baked good with a bit of musk to keep it from being too gourmand. Cold weather is best for this, only body heat needed. Lasts all day on me.

Very well blended luxurious smelling patchouli and vanilla, it is unisex but rather more suitable for men but of course a very feminine looking woman would manage to wear this as well. Good price for niche quality and sillage was perfect!

New line of unisex Les Elements Collection from Molinard 2015/2016 is not so popular and hard to find, but Vanille Patchouli and Patchouli are absolutely incredible and niche quality, at very good price.

It’s amazing how different people perceive the same fragrance so differently! On me this is a chocolatey patchouli with a slight sweet vanilla overtone. It’s delicious, strong, and worth every penny.

Hot white chocolate poured on a freshly baked wafer. Dense and daring. Difficult not to adore it! Decent longevity. The sillage is adequate; no issue with wearing this in the office. Overall 9/10.

What a fun, light-hearted, fizzy, root beer scent. My first thought was this was the ditzy but lovable cousin to Hypnotic Poison. Nothing serious here, just happy root beer float.

Natural smelling chocolatey patchouli and vanilla with good performance, be careful with the trigger because it can pretty easily get way too sweet.

Vanille patchouli will always be part of my collection. So elegant and easy to layer. I wish longevity was better, but still a great smell.

Hate patchouli love this. Patch just dirty enough to give it a funky vibe. Lasts all day in Las Vegas winter. I smell great!

Smells like Vanilla bean... hmmmmm. Yummy. You won't understand it at first, but give it time, and you'll fall in love.

I found Vanille Patchouli as part of my search for fragrances similar to Chanel Coromandel (i.e., sweet patchoulis). VP is a pretty straight-forward vanilla/benzoin/patchouli where the patchouli is not very harsh/herbal/sharp/whatever quality it is that sometimes makes patchouli a bit too much. Very soft and very pleasant with decent performance; pretty linear but that's okay. At first I liked it but wasn't wowed, but then I couldn't stop sniffing myself, so it looks like when my decant is up I will probably be buying a bottle of this. This is definitely one to check out if you like sweet patchoulis, especially given the affordable price.

Patchouli-forward with an equally heavy dose of complementary vanilla. A true gourmand, chocolate-vanilla dessert experience with a benzoin accent that adds a touch of warm amber and camphor. The sandalwood provides a supportive base whose soft creaminess harmonizes with the overall product. Gets more spicy and resinous as it dries down before fading to a woody skin scent. Moderate projection fades over 3-4hr, longevity 10-12hr. Odd choice to list sandalwood as a top note. Not dissimilar to Lavande, with a chocolatey patchouli accented by camphorous benzoin, but the camphor is toned down and the vanilla is more immediately apparent here.
