No. 07 White Patchouli & Cedarwood

Hmm.... after reading these reviews I am so happy to tell that on my skin this lasted for many hours! It also projects really well!! I went out shopping today and tested this at RITUALS store, then went on with my day and it just lasted and lasted and lasted! I really enjoy the scent and because of the longevity it has on my skin I went back to the store at the end of the day to get myself a bottle :) It's a really nice, clean, fresh, soft sweet patchouli & cedar mix which in my opinion is also very suitable for men. It smells very natural. I love it!

The opening for me is very much the water notes. A very clean opening, reminds me a lot of a shampoo I've had many years ago, but absolutley not in a bad way! Then it morphes in to a more musky feeling. The patchouli is there, but it is a very soft patchouli. Not to dirty. Some woodsy tones for me from the cedar, but not too much of that "pine needle" scent. Overall this is a very "soft woodsy" fragrance, or more like "forest through a laundromat". Perfect for daytime wear. An absolutley gorgeous fragrance and completley unisex.

Sorry, but I have to tell you again that this smells sooooooooooooooooo good!!! I am wearing this for the 2nd time now... It really smells so pure and natural on me, so clean and even sweet and it just lingers on and on and on... and when my body heats up in high temperatures I keep getting the most heavenly whiffs of this scent! Pure B L I S S This must be a match made in heaven for me, would become my signature scent if I did not have too many perfumes ;) ♥♥♥♥♥

I love this fragrance, but I completely agree with the previous reviewer about lasting power. This only lasts a few hours and then it's gone. The fragrance on it's own is really pretty: I love the soft woody scent, white patchouli is dominant at first and the drydown is really woody. Not sweet but very comfortable.

Edited: I had confused it with other fragrance by Rituals! Very soft smell. Woody but just barely so, not dark in any way. An interesting, simple, very relaxing smell. Slightly fresh, but mostly a clean bright woody smell with something that reminds me of sea breeze, but less strongly than, say, Navegar. A scent for a summer morning stroll under the trees near a river. Unfortunately, it does not last, but while it's there, it's simple, bright and comforting.
