Patchouli Ink

Well fuck me. I did not expect this to be so good! Montblanc? Sounds more like a bike/car company than a perfume company! But, I'll happily take this scent over any other patchouli-based aroma. It is bombastic; as soon as you apply it, it dominates and tells your skin that it is in control and it's not fucking shifting. Your skin obeys it's commands, to the absolute letter, allowing it's intrusive scent profile into every aspect of your being. It also doesn't stop there - it wants the souls of all those around you, and it will stop at nothing to get it's grubby mitts on them. It is such a beautifully dirty and dark as fuck scent profile. It smells like you've been on a massive, muddy walk, through the green countryside, and you've had an amazing time doing so. It really is as bold as brass - people will smell this on you from great distances, like nervous deers during hunting season. If you want to blend in with the humans, do not wear this perfume. Your next door neighbors will be complaining that their house stinks of it, should you be bold enough to wear it at home. The patchouli in it is used to great effect; harmoniously blending with ease with all of the other notes. It puts it's dirty spunk into every section, and mingles it's corrupt DNA with all other scent notes in the profile. Bergamot too - very cleverly used. Possibly one of the most overused perfume ingredients, it is given a new lease of life in Patchouli Ink. This perfume is dark, dangerous and it wants your soul. 8/10. It does well, but it lacks a story, so it loses two points.

I like it. EDIT: this punches WAY ABOVE ITS PRICE! I LOVE IT! Very clean and civilised Patchouli, turns soapy a bot on my skin which I love. Now the interesting part: the INK! Yesssss... I feel like I am actually wroting with a Montblanc pen. The ink stays on the full length. On top of some wood... a lot of wood lol. Don't feel any vanilla as a sugary vanilla, but a vanilla root, like real vanilla unprocessed and raw. Backs the drydown. Suitable more for serious occasions, like going to the opera or some secret club meeting. Good longevity, great presentation, very serious and elegant... interesting composition! If you like Patchouli yes. If you like "different" yes. It smells niche, expensive and like OLD MONEY AND ELEGANCE (dressed accordingly) 10/10 Fabrice Pellegrin and Montblanc

From my first impressions on this scent, it was definitely my favorite in the collection and an instant love. I remember trying le labo's patchouli but can't comprehend the comparison because I remember not liking it as much as a patchouli scent. Definitely needs a revisit. Not sure if the note breakdown is accurate but I definitely smell a lot more going on. A very pleasant and alluring patchouli scent and priced reasonably considering the scent's unique traits and being a 120 ml bottle. It's a really solid scent considering the brand's uninspiring releases over the past years. This should be the direction taken by every other designer brand out there.

If I were a funeral director this would be my signature scent. Dark woods is a good description. I got a few samples of this and fell in love. It was unlike anything else I have worn. Very unique almost Black Orchid type of opening that transforms to a vanilla and what I can best describe as an earthy dark truffle. I agree with the consensus that it feels like a very formal fragrance. Smells way more expensive than it is and I like that. Edit: I applied this at 12:30 P.M. it is now 8:20 P.M. and as I am about to hop in the shower I still get pleasant whiffs of the fragrance. Non powdery vanilla is noticeable now.

I've been searching for the perfect patchouli. Many of them are two sweet or just not blended well. This one is perfect. I find this to be unisex; many have said it leans masculine but not to me. Perfect for male or female. Truly gorgeous on its own, but I also love to layer it with Santal Complet by Fragrance Du Bois. Absolutely stunning combination. It is a bit inky when first sprayed but let it dry down. Really beautiful, well-blended patchouli. The value is great too. Paid just at $100 bucks for 125 ml. Not bad at all.

One wonderfully modern, clean and not dirty yet thick, "black" and smooth patchouli. It’s quite linear, but the scent is lovely. This makes me think of a very dark, unsweetened and raw cacao, without smelling obviously like chocolate either. The "Ink" note is fantasized yet the overall feeling is very close to what you would think of if you had to guess or picture its smell.

Warm & smokey vanilla/patchouli with a splash of ink. Far less challenging than I anticipated, given the name. If you were looking at this specifically for the "ink" note, I'd keep looking. That being said, it's very pleasant. Definitely agree with the comparison to Le Labo's Patchouli 24. This has a very similar feel, but far easier to wear. It's more subtle & refined.

Gives me a tingling feeling in my nose almost like Dior savage and paci rabavage phantounge feel. Honestly lovely not npc but just great the vanilla not is not strong enough but when it dries down it’s amazing. But too strong for my liking but could be more stronger like stronger with you intesties. Love the bottle looks like a magnificent plum pie. Boom shakalaka.

Sotd: Montblanc Patchouli Ink (2024) - earth oxide - The creative #fabricepellegrin makes an interesting ink accord. Metallic, Vetiver, Green and Spicy. Combined with Patchouli makes an excellent juxtaposition between natural and synthetic. Cold & dark meets warm & soft. Supplemented by an amber accord & Iris base - strength meets vulnerability.

Imagine the greatness of mont blanc ink mixed with a woundreful patchouli and a hidden vanilla ..lasts for 2 hours with good sillage and 6 hours with intimate sexy skin stuck ... تخيل انك تدخل في غرفة مليئة باقلام مونت بلانك و حوض من الحبر الفاخر الممزوج برائحة الباتشولي الفاخرة مع مسحة خفيفة من الفانيلا الداكنة..هذا هو العطر بحد ذاته

Really beautiful dark fragrance. Super earthy and inky with this deep forest vibe. Feels masculine, atmospheric, and kinda gothic. Gives me cinematic, moody, horror movie vibes honestly. You need to be a big fan of patchouli to enjoy this, the ink really enhances the earthy-herbal grassy vibes and gives it a very gloomy feel 8.5/10

This his is simply amazing! High quality formulation, very smooth patchouli with a hint of vanilla. Very well blended modern classic. Excellent longevity. I can still smell it on my skin after 12 hours and it projects beautifully. Very reasonably priced for what it is. Genderless and suitable for all seasons in my opinion.

This is a stunning fragrance! I was hooked the first time I smelt it and just had to have a bottle! To my nose, this is close to L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme Eau Extreme (LIDG Extreme) and Nasomatto Pardon. Great quality, gorgeous woody-patchouli composition with warm, slightly gourmand and cosy undertones.

I just picked this up as a duty free purchase on our way through the airport. One sniff and I was hooked! This reminds me so much of Bvlgari Patchouli Tentation. The scent to me is mesmerising - great for day or night and receives a lot of compliments. Let’s see what this one does!

I love this fragrance, but with all Montblancs on my skin is maximum 4 hours of longevity the most. The punch of ink is starting in the beginning but when is settling down patchouli and iris are coming on surface which I love. Great scent!

You heard it here first! No need for The moon @ $800 No need for Gladiator Pud @ $400 No need for Pardon @ $140 for 30ml This is absolutely everything! Buy it! Buy it quick! Buy it loads!

Smell this at the beauty store, absolute classy, earthy patchouli masterpiece, but the price is ridiculous

The Montblanc answer to Lalique's Encre Noire. Smells like an inky forest. Moody. Bohemian. I love it.

does the patchouli 24 thing. weirdo burnt inky patchy vanilla for repelling your enemies. hawt

Very unique, sharp, tangy and spicy patchouli. It has good sillage and gives off a sexy vibe.
