Blind single spray instore. No sample sizes. Not what I was expecting but delightful all the same. Review by Gwizz sums this fragrance up nicely.
I’ve had 7 hours wear from this and Patchouli Leaves is now sitting close to my skin but is still very discernible and constant. I’m left with a warm honeyed wood but if I breathe onto my wrist I get a brief blast of subtle sweet lime. Mmmmm!
Nice subtle sexy scent.
Update… I woke up 15 hours after a single generous spray and Patchouli Leaves was still there albeit very faint. By 17 hours all traces had vanished

Though I ‘m a fan of heavy, earthy and dark patchouli, this scent with its bright and soft patchouli attracted me actually. Clean and refreshing mixture of notes gives the quality of a top class perfume.
Alas, it is weak in projection but has a moderate longevity.
8/10 for the scent
3/10 for longevity and sillage

chi non ama il bel patchouli terroso e bohemien troverà questo profumino poco costoso gradevole: si tratta di un accordo fresco di note acquatiche e agrumate che svelano pian piano un patchouli poco invadente e assai elegante. l’evoluzione conduce su una riuscita base legnosa e lievemente muschiata di ambroxan che, purtroppo, si assesta su uno skin-scent evanescente e quasi aereo. bello e audace come nella migliore tradizione della profumeria di nicchia, si può spruzzare con generosità stante il costo ridicolo.

To me I the product in the night-sky/deep blue box (depicted above) and the perfume in the new deep-green box with a gold seal smell different. Does anybody feel the same?

I didn’t realise this was primarily aimed at men until I read the blurb at the top of this page. From the moment I smelled it I felt like I was home. The first notes I picked up were bergamot and something orangey. Then I got the slight hint of patchouli. I love patchouli but often find it too heavy in scents. This is delicious and comes to me in waves throughout the 4 or so hours that this lasts. I bought this in Marks and Spencer, thinking it would do as a lightweight day scent to wear when I needed a change from Mitsouku, my usual scent. Patchouly Leaves is so much more than a filler now. I find myself drawn to it most days.
Interestingly, when I proffered my wrist to my niece, her first words were “that’s so you” and I believe she is right. It is a very comforting scent, one I find myself constantly sniffing. I will definitely be buying this again.

Once again this house produces a scent that costs a pittance, but smells like a million bucks! Patchouli Leaves opens with a lovely, delicate citrus accord, bolstered by ambroxin and an aerial patchouli note, that whilst leafy and light, hasn’t entirely lost its earthy, chocolate base. A woody foundation holds the composition together and the sum of it all to me comes off as almost a little dandy. A little barbershop, without an overtly soapy presence.
Overall it’s a clean, almost translucent patchouli scent that is unobtrusive and easy to pull off in most situations. It projects quite delicately really, but I catch wafts of it throughout its life, so it’s more than a mere skin scent. Unfortunately, It is not the most tenacious creation ever produced. I’d say I get 3-4 hours at best on my skin. But as I find the opening so lovely, I’m more than happy to spritz this on my clothes, which allows it to stay with me a lot longer.
I really like Patchouli Leaves a lot more than I had expected to (it was a blind buy), and it quickly found its way into high rotation. It’s versitile, subtle, classy, clean and a marvel at this price point. So if poor longevity sticks in your craw, never fear! Reapply with abandon as often as you like, knowing you’re not breaking the bank. If you like patchouli, but find it a little difficult at times, this may well be the one for you. Very nice indeed and at this price, why not give it a try?

A clean, leafy, almost watery take on patchouli. The fragrance opens with an aromatic combo of zesty citruses and fresh spices to then very quickly evolve into a smooth woody-patchouly driven middle phase to then, again, quickly dissolve into nothing at all in less than a couple of hours. Yeah, it’s really ephemeral but the accords are so nicely executed that, if it weren’t for the abysmal longevity, it could have easily been an hypothetical Gucci of the Tom Ford Era as well as, say, an Histoires De Parfums…well you know what? This is a drugstore fragrance that’s as cheap as a meal at McDonald’s.
