Patchouli N' Roses

~ I love " rose " in any form , and patchouli is also a note that I have a love affair with . This is a total surprise as I was looking for a different perfume outside of my comfort zone , whether she be a new brand or not was not important . In my search I found this , I love the bottle and the notes , I was excited as it has just a few and I came here , looked at reviews and decided she was a must have , since no sample is available . I paid a decent price , got the 3.4 ounce from perfume.com . I ordered on the 6th , got it today , it shipped out on the 7th . They for sure rock deliveries coming from New Jersey . I had to soak in tub and do my usual routine and spritzed this just once on wrists to test . I had the feeling I had inhaled this scentual on someone else in my daily dealings . I felt immediately she is a clean , warm , comfort scent . I got the rose & patchouli , the musk on me an afterthought , meaning I don't think anyone else could smell , regardless I can , and I love this , it is perfect in my opinion year round . Our summer weather is in the high 90's , the 100"s too . I'll have to test that theory as weather gets cooler . I'm pleased that she is fitting right in with my wardrobe , I have nothing like her , so she'll take a front row on my perfume cabinet . Thank You so much reviewers ~ She is a win ~ win ~ ///=^} ~

Its a pretty good dupe for J Heeley Hippie Rose although this has more musk. I'd say this powerful scent has equal amounts of patch, rose and musk. I don't get a similarity with the N Rodriguez which are very much creamy musk centered scents. No earthy patch to be sniffed. There is a big hit of patch in this so if you don't like patch steer clear. The name says it all. The patch doesn't really ease up much along the time line. It's a very nice classy, modern scent that won't you smell like a 60s hippy. The patch has been tamed. Cheaper than JH HR and tbh I'm happy with this beauty. Its a casual wear scent with reasonable longevity and sillage. HR is stronger than this.

It's filled out with musk, and the rose has a sweet aspect to it. Seems classic and yet surprising, with a lot going on. Leaves a really pleasant smell on clothes, and the dry-down on skin is unique. Something about it is intimidating. There is something boozy in the high to mid note range of the fragrance. The musk is very prominent as well, and I love the drydown. Edit 1/31/25: I am finding this is one of my most commonly worn perfumes, and I bought a backup of this one. Beautiful development, big sillage from the top, gorgeous musky dry-down, and gets compliments. Wine roses patchouli musk, clear and simple.

The patchouli of this frag is very soft and mild, indeed, and with the musky scent the global effect is close to the tea notes of Guerlain's Exclusifs Paris-Tokyo (vintage) or the opening of Neroli Outrenoir. Then come the roses, discrete and very fine, too, never invading or imposing themselves. A fine & great frag, all in nuances, for educated noses ! Congratulations for this original work of feminisation of sometimes a bit to harsh scents.

Patchouli N'Roses is my first niche fragrance. It was actually a blind buy, because I love fresh, spicy rosy smell. I can't describe how much I FELL IN LOVE! From the first sniff! SIMPLE, CLEAN, FRESH, SLIGHTLY SPICY ROSE WITH PATCHOULI ohh...what a well blended masterpiece! I will wear it daily in spring and on summer rainy days. 😍 Worth every cent for me. Elegant & romantic
