Sole Patchouli

A very bright green and aromatic patchouli. I've recently been on a patch spree, and this was a bit of a shock coming from earthier frags like Borneo and Patchouli Premiere... I wasn't aware patchouli could smell this fresh and bright, and if I were to sniff this blindly would have probably guessed it to be a vetiver fragrance! Having said all of that, I really like it. It opens, as mentioned, with a clean and bright quality, but is also a fairly camphorous, which gives it an herbal coughdrop vibe (but in a very pleasant way). The only point that might turn some off (not me!) is that the civet occasionally lends it a slightly fetid ripe-fruit quality, which reminds me very much of durian fruit (and in particular, the smell of a cold refrigerator that is storing durian). I also love durian, though, so take that as you will...

Between this and Jovoy’s Psychedelique, I’ve found two incredible patchouli fragrances. I have a handful more but I think this and JP are standouts. The reviewer below me is spot on. This is a bright, fresh and airy patchouli scent. Some powdery florals that are blended beautifully. I don’t get much potent civet either, but there’s a slight trace. A small amount comes through during the dry down. Not in your face like Kouros or Afrika Oliphant. More refined like Layton Exclusif, maybe Amouage Gold. Just enough to provide a bit of depth. This thing is pinging off one spray. It’s the type of scent you’ll want to keep smelling. Going to test it in the office tomorrow. Don’t think HR will be calling me in. If they do, it’ll be to ask what I’m wearing. It’s that good. My first from Vertus. On this evidence, it won’t be the last.

Sole patchouli by VERTUS has a gorgeous earthy patchouli scent that lasts an incredibly long time. The sillage is also quite strong, so you will be sure to leave your mark everywhere you go! Bewitching and hypnotizing, this modern interpretation of patchouli manages to excite the senses. It is opening with a blend that combines precious patchouli with hints of green and orris; these top notes create an interesting aura for you as they develop further on your skin. Mimosa flowers take over in the heart phase, surrounding the base which consists mostly of patchouli leaves surrounded by a touch of marshmallow. Patchouli is a modern and sensual fragrance with an elegant aura that hypnotizes. A cool interpretation of classic fragrances... Creates fascinating aromas that enthrall people's sense... Perfect for cold weather!

This is a versatile fragrance. Personally, I think you can wear it whenever and wherever you want. Scent-wise, it showcases different "types" of patchouli. It's minty and herbal/medicinal, and has a fizzy/sparkly (soda-like) opening. Then there's a touch of dirtiness in the mid. It dries down to a green, earthy, and powdery scent. There's a slight sweetness throughout its wear. If you like patchouli, this would be an amazing addition to your collection. Quite polarizing to some, try before buying, not everyone would appreciate this. Scent: 9/10 Projection: 10/10 Longevity: 9/10 I laughed when I read someone’s comment about this being a copy of Crush On Me. Sole Patchouli came out in 2017 while Crush On Me was released in 2021. So, which one’s the copy?

I was wearing this today. I had a 2ml sample & decided to try it out today. Patchouli is the main note, however, it is not like the one used in Coromandel, here it is green & fresh. Smells like the grass after a rainy day you get this feeling. It is suitable for all seasons all occasions it is fresh, deep, a bit dark & strong enough to cut through the cold. Surprised not many fragrance lovers tried this one. It is a high quality scent & you can sense the ingredients quality. Longevity is 10 hours & projection is ok as I kept getting wafs throughout the whole work day so performance is very good not nuclear but very solid. I will look for a good deal to buy a full bottle soon. Very nice scent & will be one of my favorites for sure. Easy 9/10 rating.
