L'Eau des Immortels

Quiet old school someone said that this is smell of grandma's wardrobe but i just don't care and quiet enjoy this perfume. full with patchouli with chocolate hint. quiet ambery and really dry by immortelle. opening like Sables but turn into something different after 5 minutes.

This has a funky opening that evolves into a really nice resinous patchouli. I don’t see it listed but I am getting a strong patchouli vibe from this as well as raisins verging on sherry, not cooking sherry but a serious Pedro Ximénez. I have smelled this in my drinking glass many, many times. Full bottle worthy for sure. Five hours in. This is nice and soft. There is a powdery aspect to it. I think this is more suited for women but that doesn’t stop me from wearing it. The last gasps are a lovely vanilla pancake syrup accord.

Every time I wear this it is slightly different. Today no funk in the opening but boy is the orange front and center. Orange, amber, patchouli, Pedro Xmineze sherry, raisins, coffee, vanilla. Really nice. After six hours it becomes a skin scent.

Sweet, warm immortelle-amber perfume, very cozy for cold days. I like my immortelle a bit more on the summery, aromatic side, however

Phew! This perfume is hard to take. Astringent bitter opening. I can’t even. Maybe helpful if you had a cold to open up sinuses. Giving me a headache. Edit- After 20 minutes top notes dry down a bit and it’s more tolerable. Hubby walked in and I warned him I was wearing a perfume. He said “Oh I can tell.” He added that it doesn’t smell bad but that it’s completely overwhelming. Definitely different. After one hour the scent softens with a straw-like sweet scent like chamomile tea. The dry down is pure ashtray. I’d recommend giving this perfume some time to mellow so not to offend others.
