Not my patchouly. Doesn’t smell like patchouly on me. More like vetiver.

Patchouli Arawak is a really nice, smooth patch. When I first sprayed it, I noticed something that was not easy to pinpoint. Let me start by saying that I am one of those people who loves that mildewy, damp type of patchouli. Montale’s Patchouli Leaves has always been my Holy Grail for that type of patch. Patchouli Arawak reminds me of it. It smells dark, damp and a little mossy. It has a smooth chocolatey feel.
A picture developed in my mind of an old, wooden ship that had sunk in the Caribbean. The kind of wooden ship you would imagine seeing in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. The wood broke apart, weathered in the salty turquoise water, and then washed up on an island of white sand that no human had ever set foot on. That is the note I smell that makes Patchouli Arawak irresistible to me–decayed wood. It’s faint, but it’s just enough to make my eyebrows raise a little.
Patchouli Arawak is a light fragrance. While so many niche patches are ultra rich sillage monsters, this one feels discreet, melding with my skin chemistry to become less of a perfume and more like the scent of a perfume that is lingering on a chiffon scarf.
A patchouli perfume with a distinct island feel. Well crafted, beautiful, addictive. (Update: I ultimately bought it)
