– Patchouli

Ohhh how much I like this transparent patchouli! It is so elegant.

Very nice offering for those sensitive to strong patchouli. Patchouli gets more noticeable with drydown, but it’s softened by magnolia and iris, giving it a soft, sweet floral vibe.
The first few minutes smell like it’s from the 70’s, but later on it turns into something very contemporary and alluring.
It’s for sophisticated and mature ladys in my opinion.
Really elegant perfume.

This fragrance is colose to Portratit of Lady Frederic Malle,but much more modern and attractive

Is this a patchouli bomb or not? Is it clean, fresh patchouli or covered by lots of florals? Is it liniair or is there an exciting story going on? I am very curious.

This scent highly reminds me of Lancome´s Magie Noire but a bit more wearable for daytime occasions.
There are roses and some other flowers but happily married with patchouli that will take the lead throughout the journey to the drydown.
If you like Bottega´s light velvety patchouli background but would rather enjoy a floral setting instead of leather this might interest you.
FD is a very classy and overall serious scent. I can see both gents and ladies wearing it but they are 30+. It has a certain old-school/vintage feel and there is no sweetness at all involved.
As a patchouli lover I was looking for something really different from all the oriental patchoulis out there (which I dearly love but you need some variation some time). Besides, I love chypres and this is one in all facets. The vintage feel FD transports might be because it is a chypre that resembles the classics. This is my first fragrance from this house. I´m smitten.
Sillage : medium (it´s not a bomb but not a body splash either)
Tenacity : medium also (on me the scent has mostly vanished after about 4-5 but that´s ok for me).

The “Maybach Equivalent Revival” of a long forgotten old English perfume brand. Apparently the brand was revived with new investment money last year 2013. Now it is based in Italy (go figure).
My perception of this brand is that it wants to be somewhere between Creed and Penhaligon’s. It is very well blended and very competitively priced.
This is a truly modern lovely floral, if not fruity Pachouli. It has some chypre sensibilities and in my opinion a very well executed interpretation of an old-wordly smell with a modern twist.
There might even be a frankinsense there but it is ever so faint. I also get a rose, or is it the silk tree blossom?
A truly unique scent and with pricing at the lower end this is a very commercial niche fragrance that should find many lovers and supporters.
If only their advertising and brand recognition was a bit stronger….
8/10 Lovely unisex fruity, floral chypre with a nuveau-retro vibe.

It smells like a blend of rose and patchouli, very velvety.
