Im living in a country where we only have freaking hot or rain. so usually perfume doesn’t last long. but this one really performs well. i give it a 10 spritz and my girlfriend say its not too strong but u can always smell it lingers around. she even can still smell it even after 6 hours of wearing it. The smell is still there even after shower.

Does anyone know where the CH exclusive fragrances are available to try? I’ve been to two CH boutiques and the sales people know nothing about them.
lavkay – :
Editors, please check the listing of the notes: there are some missing, like bergamot and clove.
Talking about the fragrance… what a beauty ladies and gents, what a beauty!
sfs711Diobtetty – :
One of the best from the collection.. It does have a grounding yet mysterious “purple” feel even with heavy cinnamon.
This Patchouli is on the sweeter side–slightly boozy, chocolatey, fruity, and balmy–reminds me of Angel (Mugler), Coromandel (Chanel), and Oajan (Marly) in order of development!

wonderful and classy in every aspect … i love it
Folmoskop2x2 – :
Sweet seducing juice with low sillage at high cost. It appears as most elegant and rich fragrance which can transform some one to the world of abstraction. Although I am lover of some hard and bitter notes with undertone of some sweetness, but this trapped me in no time. Masterpiece like TV tom ford….
my Score:
Scent: 9.5/10
Sillage:6.5/10
Longevity: 7/10

Lovely, sexy & sweetie, but does not last for a long time, also it is a bit expensive.
It reminds me with one of the special editions of CH.
I wouldn’t want to spend that amount of money for this fragrance, if it was cheaper I’d buy it for sure.

My goodness this perfume is a beauty! I had the chance to buy this at a Duty-Free and didn’t because of the cost and now I’m kicking myself. I can’t get this out of my head, it was so gorgeous. I cannot give a breakdown of the scent other than my memory of a sophisticated, mysterious, spicy patchouli. There is no headshop or hippy to be found, rather a classy woman who travels the world and has an air of confidence, wealth, and wisdom about her. If given the chance again I will be buying a full bottle for sure.

Patchouli in this one reminds me of a*men almost like an earthy phacet. I liked it the most from the collection but it is too oriental for me. Cinnamon mixes well with clove making it very mysterious. Bergamot is not my favorite note at the top. But anyway is too spicy for me and patchouli in some mixes can make me have a headache, I had enough with mugler. It doesn’t last long besides. It is a good fragrance apart from my opinion but definitely not for me. I thought that it would last longer. And sillage is not so big what I think is good because you can manage not to disturb other people with a strong perfume like this one, like a*men or angel which announce your presence even when people can’t see you.

@MrCornells,
Apparently the range is all EDP with separately available oil/s that enables you to create your own single absolute(?) or blend your own fragrance using a mixture of the range? I checked out the Herrera site as soon as it was announced and got this basic information from there…
Edit:
Had to check what I’d remembered… There are four oil concentrates designed to be layered with the range, Rose, Musc, Sandalwood and Oud. All of which are able to be applied as a base to one of the other fragrances to enhance certain aspects. Rose oil in particular is recommended with this Patchouli fragrance…

maratmurka – :

Made me Speechless , Nothing Like it , Perfectly blended , can’t get my nose out of it , MASTERPIECE
nevedimka33 – :
Cinnamon is one of my favorite notes. I am really looking forward to giving this scent a try!
Claster 444 – :
I am surprised to see such offerings by Carolina Herrera. After all the 212 concept which appeals so not to me is their trademark.
I am very curious to try these and be back with a real review!
arshavin_23 – :
Love the bottles. Love the visuals. And I’m sure all six fragrances are beautiful. But “vibrancy of forbidden cinnamon”…b*tch please 😛
I guess I better go hide my quills.

Looking at the condiments used like: benzoin and Indonesian Patchouli, this fragrance could pass as unisex woody cologne. What I’m curious about is its concentration (certainly it can’t be EDC) Is it EDP or EDT or EDT Intense?
