Pachuli Kozha

PATCHOULI 'SKIN' as the translation from Turkish denotes. Opens with a prickly, herbal bite of davana and mixed florals that evokes for me hair standing on end. Conveying a touch with a jolt of electricity, davana continues and transitions to the black pepper & earthy, dark & gothic patchouli heart, and patchouli is the real star of the show in this beauty. The skin warms, as patchouli deepens into the drydown taking on additional earthy, woody, incense, honey & leathery tones. Seekers and collectors of patchouli scents will not be disappointed. Contrast to Amber Absolute Tom Ford: These are different, but there are similarities with deep, rich & sweet woody incense. Pachuli Kozha has a more forward patchouli, while Amber Absolute has the more forward amber and in this aspect is more similar to scents like Ambre Sultan Serge Lutens. Both have outstanding performance. Contrast to Noir Patchouli Histoires de Parfums: These are different, and Pachuli Kozha doesn't have the soapy quality present in Noir Patchouli (especially in the opening of NP), but they both have that same rich, dark & gothic patchouli with a bite in the drydown. Noir Patchouli's bite is bigger after the soapiness fades, while Pachuli Kozha is sweeter with a near-honey facet. Contrast to 1740 Histoires de Parfums: These are different, and 1740 again has the same rich, dark & gothic patchouli with a bite in the drydown. 1740 has a bigger bite again and is closer to Noir Patchouli than Pachuli Kozha IMO, although it also doesn't have the soapy aspect of patchouli present in Noir Patchouli HdP. Contrast to L'Eau d'Issey Noir Ambre Issey Miyake: These are different, but there are some similarities with rich, dark & sweet incensed leather. L'Eau d'Issey Nuit Ambre is more leather forward, while Pachuli Kozha is more patchouli forward. Rougly equivalent performance, or slightly better for Pachuli Kozha. Contrast to Bentley for Men Intense: These are different, but there is a similar rich, dark & sweet vibe. Bentley for Men has a more forward rum note, while Pachuli Kozha is spicier with a more forward patchouli. Although both have excellent performance, PK outperforms. Overall: Has an amazingly good scent profile, longevity is great, with moderate projection, however, projection increases after the skin heats it up as it's an oily extrait de parfum. it's a love for me. Enjoy!

Winter fragrances are like duvets. There are some duvets which are just too thin: a single layer of synthetic filling, which allows the cold to penetrate and renders them useless as winter protectors. At the opposite extreme, there are luxurious multi-layered creations, plump with the lightest, loftiest and most sought-after quality down. These not only keep out the cold but they provide a total immersion in sensations of luxury and ease. Nishane's Pachuli Kozha is the olfactory equivalent of a 18-tog, 100% white Icelandic eider down duvet: warm, deep, long-lasting and guaranteeing an excellent return on the initial investment in terms of a great sense of wellbeing. After an initial tussle between spicy and fragrant notes, this fragrance enters a stately dry down : the honey burns off and great wafts of patchouli and incense layer the air. I don't get any off-putting animalic or leather notes, just that deeply comforting aftermath of winter warmth, like air in the corridors of the Sultan's palace after he has completed his public audience for the day and retired to the pleasures of the harem. One word of warning: a little goes a long way. I was delighted to hear my partner say this fragrance was a "like," but then heard that, as with the famous duvet, it can envelop a wide area in a short time. I must remember next time to rein in my pursuit of total immersion in the interests of domestic harmony!

I haven't been high on the house of Nishane like I was when I first discovered them six or seven years years ago. They have some great fragrances but I got bored and sold B612 and Ani, and I go nose blind to Hacivat very quickly so I sold that one as well. FYF is is a great release but I never picked up a full bottle; same with Zenne, and I've never bothered any of the X fragrances. The only one I kept and still wear to this day is Sultan Vetiver. A friend sent me a decant of Patchouli Kozha and it's got my blood flowing. I've never been able to try Tom Ford Amber Absolute but if it smells like this, it's a winner. Really great fragrance that I don't think is for beginners. The opening I pick up mugwort and chamomile mixed with the patchouli right away. It's very herbal, medicinal, and slightly camphoric. The herbal opening reminds me a of something I can't recall, but it might be HDP Ambre 114 or maybe even Jubilation. It also reminds me some of Laudauno Nero in the heart. Beyond that it starts getting into animalic honey territory with some nice smoke and an tannic leather. Very interesting, and in true Nishane fashion, extremely potent. Smells like a wealthy adventurer -------------------------------------------------------- Scent 85/100 Performance 93/100

Ok I LOVE this!!! I love the opening (unlike many people!), I love the middle, and I love the drydown. I would wear it to work, for a special event (ha, like we have any of those anymore, thanks to Covid!), or just around the house to make me happy. I am not the biggest fan of leather, but this has just the perfect amount. I also get a decent amount of frankincense from it. To me, it smells rich, earthy, and perfectly sweetened. I don't find it harsh at all, and in fact I keep looking around to see who smells so good, since I can smell it in the air around me (and I'm constantly delighted to discover it's ME causing that amazing smell!!!). I only bought a tiny sample vial of this, but I can definitely see a full bottle in my future! If you enjoy sweet and earthy scents, I highly recommend you get your nose on this! I am female, and I find this totally unisex, possibly leaning toward the feminine side (because of the sweetness). I have tried this on a chilly day (about -2C outside, but room temp inside), and I think that might be the perfect temperature range for this--it could be too much on a hot or humid day.

Seems a lot of reviewers havent tried actually the fragrance. Starts with a strong blast of flowers over a patchouli bed, wonderful, very potent opening. Then dries down into a little sweet woody scent with supreme quality ingredients, with some play doh feeling and a light gunpowder note, then settles into a woody incense with some sweetness with spices making a dance all over it. All in All a pretty awesome woody perfume, the patchouli is not as prominent as the name suggests. My signature BTW. loving it from start to end. (about the fecal thing on the beginning, i dont get that, not even close) 2-3 sprays, powerful stuff dont overspray or you will kill people around. sillage: high (basically everywhere you walk, somebody will be able to find you by duration: 16h+ proyection: 2 meters the first 3-4 hours then it gets to an arm lenght

I love this, it's the intersection between original Material (which has been killed by reformulation, vintage Ambre Sultan (which I love but is unwearable for me in most situations) and Absolue Pour Le Soir, but still has its own unique charm. It's chocolaty patchouli, but it's prevented from entering gourmand territory by the flirty florals and a crackling bonfire billowing out woody smoke. It becomes more leathery after an hour or so, a clean, cold leather which accentuates the minty aspect of the patchouli (or maybe vice versa). I can't believe this doesn't get talked about more. Perhaps it's because you really have to love patchouli, but if you do, this is a must-sniff! It's up there with Psychedelique and Horizon for me, these are now my patchholy trinity :)

This one is kind of LOVE and HATE as i feel the struggle between the harsh henna note and the honey sweetish note! kind of hot and cold, harsh and delicate. It is weird to be honest and not bad thou but not the kind that i'd kill for as i sense something harsh that i can sense in reckless by Roja dove but less strong here! i don't know ... honestly i am confused a bit with this one here! Maybe the Ylang Ylang is busting the whole juice in parts makes it confusing to the sniffer! i guess it needs more time to develop and i should give it more time to grow maybe!

Agree with the the people down below. Don't judge it by the opening. It is a very strange perfume that I didn't get the top note list at the opening. I do get a lot of leather, little of patchouli and honey added with spice from peppers in the opening which make this fragrance dark and harsh. Until 30-40 minute the top note such as Ylang-Ylang, Chamomile coming up which will show up the characteristic of patchouli more. This make the fragrance become sweet and smooth in a Goodway. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful! Deserves to be call as a Niche perfume.

Actually this is 'Patchouli Leather' from the Bulgarian translation (including the Mockva (Moscow) translation) sorry Suzanne. Anywho, this is spectacular. Initial opening is a strong, green, earthy patchouli with a hint of tobacco (even though its not listed), reminds me slightly of Tom Ford's Tobacco Oud, minus the tobacco bulwark. This quickly transitions into a gorgeous honey, patchouli, leather blend that lasts forever. Very masculine and highly addictive, much like TF Tobacco Oud. Love it. ✌️ Get through the opening and live the drydown!

Sweet honey patchouli jam. This is sweet and dense. Initial spray smells edible like something you’d spread on toast. It’s yummy. 6 sprays - surprisingly not as strong as anticipated. Guess we’ll see how it ages. Wears wonderfully in a 25 degree light breeze ‘cuz it swirls around you, though it may be even better in warmer spring-time temps. Sweetness subsides, but scent is the same from the start until whenever it decides to end sometime tomorrow. Reminds me of Laudano Nero. Not identical, but similar neighborhood.

My 5th Nishane. And what a banger this is. Boozy, smoky woods, patchouli and leather with a nice balanced sweetness from the honey. The pepper adds to the zing. Yeah, the bitter green opening takes a bit of getting used to, but after 20-25 minutes that dry down is luxurious. I’m picking up a familiar dusty, spicy note that’s not listed here, and I can’t place where I’ve smelled it before. Straight 5 star frag. Fantastic. Edit: Cumin? It’s pretty strong up close but not as noticeable at a distance.

Just a word of advice, don’t judge this one from a card or from the top notes, you need to test it on your skin and be patient. Hadn’t worn it in over a year so revisiting today, 1pm I sprayed it and thought yeah it’s nice, it’s now 11pm, I showered at 8pm and as I reach for the remote I catch the most amazing smell on my arm, it’s developed into something truly beautiful and the ridiculous longevity justifies the price as far as I’m concerned

After one wearing all I can say is wow! This is patchouli bliss! After sampling a few patchouli scents I know that I only like patchouli when it's paired with a sweet note such as in Rodkin Gothic II and Molinard Patchouli Intense. Nishane has taken it to another level with the light floral hints and the smokiness. As mentioned before, all day longevity and sillage. Nope I don't own a bottle,this was from a dab on sample vial.

After i sampled this from a LS sample i immediately smelled something very animalic, im assuming the honey?, but after about 30 minutes or so, the animalic quality dies down, and WOW, just a beautiful smell! I get mostly honey, then maybe pachuli.. full bottle on the way! Words to describe this? Elegant, class,bliss, unique. Close to the gourmand side but not fully there thankfully! Not too sweet, just perfect for me!

I definitely like this one. The patchouli is clear in here, however it is subtly wrapped in leather and incense...but the best is yet to come! after a few hours on my skin those notes develop into incense and honey. To put in few words, it feels like two fragances in one: the warm and wild Patchouli-Leather combo quietly evolves into the smooth and sweet Incense-Honey: lovely and definitely worth to try!

An amber leathery fragrance which is all about leather and incense and patchouli. A dark and mysterious scent which is meant for mature souls. Its definitely unique but may not consider as a mass appeal scent. Scent:4.25/5 Longevity:+12hrs Projection:above moderate Age:+30 Occasion; formal and casual Season:winter cold days and nights

Not sure where people are getting the “funk” opening smell from, it just smells heavily of earthy patchouli with a honeyed herbal facet to compliment it. Similar to Ex Idolo’s Ryder or like a darker version of Lush’s Lord of Misrule. Very patchouli forward, pretty sweet, slightly herbal. Big yes for me ☃️

Sweeter and smoother version of Amber Absolute by Tom Ford. This one is more versatile.I was planning to add amber absolute in my collection until I met this boy. I think I will add this one. Performance is amazing above 12 hours, very oily brown liquid. It leaves stains on white shirts so be careful .

Great Please dont judge this scent by the opening.Wear it cold weathers. I always smell honey, leather , soft patchouli and just a little bit smooky (incense). This is for guys ; who want to smell mysterious and dark. Sillage is very good , longevity perfect. Great job from Nishane and Lee.
