Patch Flash

Update: Great review by Michael above. She is right on about the patch being yummy and gourmand. Also the image of the old empty whisky barrel smell, yes. Every time I wear this, I wonder why I don't keep it in my top 5 all the time. Hey guys, try this one. It's a very unique Patchouli dominant frag. No one is reviewing this, I don't understand? This is almost a clone of Nasomatto "Hindu Grass" at $180/30ml. But Patch Flash is better, with whiskey and leather! Update: I think this will be in my top 5, steady. I think it's Andy Tauer's most wearable, and enjoyable fragrance. It's a unique and fresh patchouli. This is a grower. I am aquiring a taste for this! This fresh green boozy note feels like it's coming from the Patchoulol itself, and so it is; Or the whiskey note seamlessly blends with the patchoulol (Patchouli alcohol). I wasn't crazy about it at first, now I love it. This is a Patchouli frag for Spring and Summer, it's very fresh. If you could make an alcoholic beverage out of patchouli, it would smell like Patch Flash. Or if patchouli had a blossom/ flower, it smells like it's in here. I think it's why I got a compliment from an older woman today, wearing Patch Flash. There's something floral about it, as a facet of one of the notes. This sour, boozy patchouli was off putting at first. Now I acquired a taste for it, and love it for it's fresh, medicinal, boozy uniqueness. I am appreciating the role the leather note plays: It's a creamy smooth, slightly smoky leather. There is a slight sweetness, seemingly comming from the whiskey note, which is in an accord with the leather. The first impression was this bright sour green note, like the "dill" note in Yatagan. I love Yatagan. I thought it may be the whiskey note, but after some research, I found it to be the"Patchoulol". It is called patchouli alcohol, or Patchouli camphor. It makes this patch very unique. Andy Taur's creativity is on display here. The patch camphor makes it very fresh and bright, in a green way. I think it will be my best Patchouli dominant fragrance for hot Summer days, yet it is an all season fragrance. Rating: 9.25/10 God bless. John 3:16

I love Andy & his wonderful creations. Patch Flash is no exemption ... As many have said below this is boozy, very boozy...Super cool & sexy, slightly dirty...unisex, but not for the faint hearted. A party scent, rich & classy, but unapologetic. In control, confident. Laid back, no need to brag & make noise...the presence of the wearer is a statement per se. Great drunk patch, beautiful silage and solid performance. Obviously I got a bottle.

This to me is the perfect fragrance. if i could only keep one fragrance for life,this would be it!!!! it starts of with a boozy(smells like an empty wooden barrel of Jack Daniels honey) followed by the yummy earthy patchouli,which to my nose is very gormandish. then the benzoin mixes perfectly with the spices. please try this. you might just end up falling inlove with it. longevity -9/10 sillage - 7/10 scent - 10/10

Patchouli is one of my very favorite notes. The opening of Patch Flash settles down within 15-20 minutes to a cozy and earthy patchouli with a layer of delicious gingerbread (this must be the spices in the official notes) that makes Patch Flash very cozy and wearable in cold weather especially. Super comfortable fragrance.

There's a patchoulol here, which is the alcohol of the patchouli essence. It makes it unique and more fresh than other patchouli fragrances. I still have 1/2 ounce left. Looking forward to wearing on a hot day. Just noticed it's discontinued, too bad. Hindu Grass has a similar freshness, but also may be discontinued.
