Essence de Patchouli

WOW. This is super underrated! To me, this is a chocolatey yet very clean, classy, put-together patchouli. The geranium is prominent from start to finish on my skin, and it gives the perfume this "airiness" and almost "minty" feeling, which adds so much dimension to the patchouli and helps prevent it from sitting too heavy on the skin. I must confess, while I'm an ardent admirer of iris, I don't really get IRIS or POWDER per se in this scent, though I do get a very classy, classic-chypre-style rose. Beautiful - this rendition is stunning. There's something so herbal and relaxing about the geranium here - I considered myself a hater of geranium until I smelt it here. I tried Patchouli Nosy Be by PMC as well - I found that decidedly more masculine, very peppery. The patchouli here I find stronger than in Patchouli Nosy Be. Scent: 10/10 - this may be my new favourite patchouli scent Longevity: Good Projection: Strong Polarity: Unisex, slightly feminine

Patchouli zor bir koku. Neyle beraber olduğu, parfumde ne derece baskın olduğu gibi birçok ayrıntı patchouli ile olan ilişkimizi belirliyor. Bazen çok sade ve yumuşak, bazen de baskın ama sıradan olabiliyor. Patchouli ağırlıklı kokular genellikle kalıcılık ve koku dağılımında da sorun yaşıyor. Perris bugüne kadar karşılaştığım en güzel patchouli parfümü. İris ve vanilla ile olan karışımı muhteşem. İlk başta patchouli ve vanilla güçlü şekilde karsiniza çıkıyor. Kısa süre sonra ise iris kokuyu pudrali ve yumuşak hale getiriyor. Koku uzun süre hiçbir zayıflama belirtisi göstermiyor. Koku dağılımı kuvvetli. Kış ayları için çok uygun. Söylediğim gibi, kalıcılık ve koku dağılımı konusunda çok başarılı. Eğer patchouli seviyorsanız bu parfümu mutlaka denemeniz lazım.

This is my favorite patchouli fragrance that I have. The blend is lovely. It is extremely refined and elegant. It starts out a Rose Absolute/Patchouli with geranium. The Geranium overpowers the Rose . The Geranium starts to fade to iris about two long hours in and that's when the wood and musk really start to come into play...they compliment the iris very well and the very clean patchouli just sits there and enjoys the ride remaining the host of the show the entire time. This dry down is intoxicating and arousing...I mean it's a real mood setter. The wood notes/musk just kind of sit there and radiate after about nine hours and greet me the next morning and sometimes after a shower even. Highly recommended!!! 10/10 Masterpiece!!!

I love this perfume, Perris Monte Carlo really has some impressive list of perfumes, and for me this is one of them (the other one being Tubereuse Absolue - the pocket friendly carnal flower). I can smell patchouli with rose sweetening the concoction, the iris gives powdery feeling for the whole composition... Overall, for me it smells like a dirty rose, not in the bad way, it's regal, i really meant it as a compliment. The longevity is above 8 hours with strong to medium silage... Wonderful...

Baby powder mixed with patchouli. That is what I get for the most part. I never would have guessed that would be a good combo...but it is! I love it. Soft and beautiful blend. No sharpness in here whatsoever. I would say it leans slightly feminine but still great for men that love iris powdery scents. As a patchouli lover I am always looking for different patchouli's to add to my collection and this one fit that bill. I don't have another that resembles this one. Happy blind buy.
