This is impressive. Starts extremely strong with a sweet patchouli and is quite shocking. It dries down to a gentle sweet cedar incense. The changes are numerous. Ends quite sweet although not cloying. Similar style to Killian. I think this might be worth getting. Leather dissipates extremely quickly to allow other notes to come through. Definitely unisex. Very nice indeed.

Not a hippie patch, thank goodness. This goes on balsamic and herbaceous with a sweet edge. Very synthetic. The tolu, patch and geranium are dominant. A little sweetness keeps it from being bitter. Gets sweeter as it dries down but maintains that sharp, chemical scent. Unique. It’s an okay to me. Not hate but not like or love. In the total drydown, it smells more like the sniff from the bottle. It goes on screechy but eventually gets to a nice patch tonka but by then it is a complete skin scent where you have to run your nose deeply into your own arm in love but cannot smell it unless you are on your own skin. Too bad it doesn’t get to this quicker and project and last better.

No earthy hippie style patchouli here, no sir. This is about leather, tobacco, and a hint of patchouli to my nose. And it’s fabulous! I’ve overlooked LM for a while and this, along with Ambre Muscadin, hard leather, and Malefic tattoo, is a gem. Performance is well above average for me.

Whoa on my skin, this one is a major morpher!
1st phase: Really weird smelling, I get a super sweet Patchouli and Leather. It’s kinda messy smelling.
2nd phase: Starts to come together more, it’s still sweet patchouli and leather, but not as sweet or messy, they’re melding with my skin well. It still smells rather unique to me and I like it but I could see it scaring off a lot of people
3rd phase: I start to get the woods, like a cedar/iso e super type woods, with a sweetness from the Tonka and Tolu. I really like this phase, really pleasant!
4th and last phase: a dark rich vanilla.
I’ve added this to my want list
Alisan – :
Wooooow, this is the weirdest perfume I’ve EVER smelled! Anti-perfume, I should say… I can smell all the ingredients, except geranium, it smells like old leather and wood kept for a long time in a wet cellar, frequently visited by cats… And the patchouli here is the first case of patch smelling like the real essential patchouli oil- only there could be more of it.
I guess I could sit down and write a horror story inspired by this perfume:-D
cherep1771 – :
Disappointed with Prada Amber sour reformulation?
Missing the assertive opening, the friendly drydown?
Try this stuff and get back your smile.
You know when mint prickles and “widens” your nose? I can smell that in the drydown, and just a hint of quality icing sugar. And roasted hazelnuts. To me this is full af surprises – been wearing it for a month, still not tired of its strange music.
azifi – :
I had two surprises with this perfume.
1. I didn’t think patchouli can surprise me any more (I agree with Colin Maillard). Patchouli has been used ad nauseam in the history of fragrances, from staight-up headshop to fruitchoulis and god knows what other shape and form.
2. I didn’t expect to like anything Mona di Orio created. Mostly I don’t value her creations.
Yet here we go: an absolutely new take on patchouli, by Mona di Orio! This world is still a place of wonders!
Patchouly Boheme is the most wonderful warm cocoon I can imagine for the cold season. When I first sniffed it in the shop, I exclaimed to the kind SA in Neroli/Budapest: “Wow, this reminds me of kindergarten!” Then I added: “No…actually it reminds me of something from a later stage in my life…I just cannot figure what.” It took me a day or two, and reaching the late drydown till I could actually recall what it was that PB reminded me of (please don’t stone me): Johnson&Johnson Baby lotion (the pink bottle) from the 90s! (Don’t smell it today, they completely changed the scent of it.) The same warm powderiness…Of course J&J did not have leather and tobacco and all that jazz, yet they share a lot of similarities. I was absolutely addicted to that body lotion for years, when I used it in the evenings and went to bed I felt totally safe, surrounded with clean, balmy warmth and contentedness, just like when I was a little girl. PB is definitely a feel-good comfort fragrance for me. It is a perfect feathery shield when the world and the elements show their harsher face. It is completely unisex, last an extremely long time (I put the smelling strip in my Kindle cover about 2 weeks ago, then after a few days took it out, but the inside of the cover still smells faintly! The sillage is excellent, not stellar, but you will get noticed. A little goes a long way, 2 sprays will take you through the day and into the next till the morning shower.
Love, love, love.
I got a partial bottle from a lovely person, but when I use it up, I will absolutely need a full bottle! I don’t ever want to be without this.

Please don’t try this perfume once , 1st time i tried i was shocked and i didn’t like how strong and heavy it is , i refused it , i give it another try , and then a third and i then it is in my wardrobe .
I can say a big wow for the composition for the result for the longevity and for the silage ; i adore the powdery ambery texture of tolu balsam mixed with the earthiness of patchouli that makes it not boring at all , just pleasant , it start with a heavy scent awakening your senses to discover whats going on until it settled to a soft warm ambery powdery and leathery perfume .
i have the adorable black oud and now the generous and genius patchouli boheme .
i is a rich nice elegant classic with a smart touch of modernity but i accept it more on men .
DOX UA – :
Oh my god what a beauty!! It’s the most original patchouli I’ve met.
After three LM fragrances I tryed, I surrender to the fact I’ve some problems with their opening; Epine Mortelle, Ambre Muscadin, and now this… I really enjoy them only after 15 minutes at least I sprayed.
Well, about this scent: to my nose, it’s a leathery- musky patchouli going from mouldy to a sweet direction; there are some minutes, during its development, when I can perceive many resemblances with Ambre Muscadin; but then they diverge: at the end, that one arrives to powdery-animalic amber, while this one goes to elemi-musk- tonka direction.
The leathery aspect is more prominent during the first two hours, then it vanishes to my nose. After this, and before the end, there is a moment when you can recognize every note it’s listed as middle and base notes, all together wonderfully blended; I should say there’s a little bit of civet too.
When I came at the end, after at least 5 hours, I started wondering what fragrance it reminds me of… well, maybe musk, maybe tonka, but it’s Meharees from Erbolario. Only, this deserves more musky sides,and goes to nostalgic-sweet mood, while Meharees is more fruity due to the dates, and keeps its development joyfully.
Sillage and longevity give their contribution to make this fragrance FBW.

Strong, dark, amazing patchouli!!! Best patchouli I have ever tried. Next one is Molinard Patchouli Intense.
LM – I love You and your perfume!
Thank You for this patchouly bohemical creation!
Longevity, silage – it’s the best I have ever tried.
I ALREADY HAVE THIS BEAUTY!
It’s my secret, it’s my second skin. It flutters around me like wings of angel.

If you’re up for a straight-forward, head-shop style, classic patchouli, this is not it. Instead, people looking for a super-dark patchouli-infused, balmy fragrance, shouldn’t miss the opportunity to give Patchouli Boheme a chance for any reason.
A massive oriental with deep roots in classic french perfumery. A striking combination of the darkest Tolu balsam, tonka and patchouli with leather/tobacco facets built around a woody-musky bone structure. The fragrance is extremely thick and powerful but everything is kept so masterfully in check that it never results overly sweet or unbalanced. Just like with Ambre Muscadin (the other big winner from LM Parfums), there’s a strong classic-french-perfumery vibe going on throughout. It was an animalic musky presence in Ambre Muscadin and it’s a bittersweet kind of chyprey vibe in Patchouli Boheme. Soothing and kind of unsettling at the same time but, most of all, obsessively good.
I think I overlooked this fragrance for way too much – don’t make the same mistake. Better than most latest *Amouages*. Hands down.
Rating: 8/10

A friendly patchouli, with a big smile on its face.
Patchouli Boheme managed to liberate me from all of my remaining prejudices towards hard, intrusive, incense shop and boring patchouli stereotypes. Before this, there was L’Ombre Fauve, an eye-opener that brought patch back into my life, but Patchouli Boheme made me love it. Nothing throat-tightening, nose-pinching, mind-fatiguing here, nothing earthy, dusty, moldy, menthol or camphor-like… just wonderful, soft, part sweet, part powdery, lay-back-and-enjoy-yourself patchouli.
Thank you, furry musky L’Ombre Fauve.
Thank you, friendly Patchouli Boheme.
Thank you, Laurent Mazzone.
On my wish list already.

The most beautiful and easy-to-very patchouli scent I’ve ever tried, warm and sensual without being too strong or disturbing. Fits me 24-7, day and night. Nostalgic and truly boheme )
app59545 – :
Je trouve ce parfum très ressemblant au Patchouli Intense de Molinard,plus coûteux également,je garde celui de Molinard,sa tenue est exemplaire.
I find this fragrance very similar to Molinard Patchouli Intense, more expensive also, I keep one of Molinard, her outfit is exemplary.
htb792Bessinepome – :
To me, this is a MASTERPIECE.
Very original, complex and well blended patchouli frag. with notes of tobacco, tonka, leather (light leather) and too sweet in the dry down. Mixed with very good quality in the ingredients.
The best from this house.
Longevity is more than 12 hours and sillage is strong.

A very high quality patchouli that should be tried by each and every lover of patchouli dominated fragrances. Fantastic silage and stays strong all trough the day.
It opened harsh and medical, almost too much for me as I am not a huge fan of patchouli, but as it settled and calmed down a bit it turned to a fantastic patchouli. It’s earthy, it’s dirty, it’s wild, yet sugary sweet and even mouthwatering (yes patchouli can be that sometimes). It changes all the time, sometimes leather which also is very noticeable in this plays a lead role, so it gets a bit rough, when tobacco and tolu shows themselves it gets sweeter and more feminine.
Really a masterpiece even I who does not wear patchouli frags can appreciate. Give this a go, you won’t be dissapointed.
Танюшка – :
great composition! woody, ambered honey, IMO not too sweet for man to wear, long-lasting, got a lot of compliments
slidex – :
groovy on my skin – thx to beauty affaires – slightly too sweet – turning burnt after a while – BUT combined with a trace of ambrettolide – great —
ifbb – :
Possibly,the better of the bunch;very nice,slightly different and truly unisex:i have smelled it on paper
but I have not tested it on skin.
A little overpriced for me.
Rumours say Mona di Orio is the Nose who created them.
Sorry for the few words,but I had smelled this brand rather quickly.
