I have a very old bottle of this that I found in a drawer when I moved into my home. The oil is dark, very dark and not light at all. The smell is a true patchouli but this has a more wearable vibe. I used to wear any patchouli oil I could get my hands on in the 90’s now being older 38 now I like it but I like it more in something like Narciso For Her edp or Guerlain Parfum Initial. But there’s something about this that I cannot stop sniffing. Maybe it s nostalgia but I love this old bottle so much! I wouldn’t wear this out but indoors or at night I would totally rock this. I really do like it, it smells like teen spirit. 😉

Fragrance Review For Patchouli The Body Shop
Notes: Patchouli
An aromatic green herbal patchouli as oil, not really a perfume. This is the equivalent of a soliflore but for weed. You have to be a fan of patchouli and you can’t blind buy this perfume. It’s nothing but patchouli. It has enormous sillage and longevity and reminds me of Jeanne Arthes Patchouli Sumatra. It’s more of a niche perfume and I find that it’s too strong for an every day perfume. Sure you can apply it on your skin but don’t over do it and don’t wear this as a signature scent just something to wear at night on certain times of the year: Halloween, maybe a late summer night at a club or café. It can give you an air of mystery or exoticism. It’s unisex since patchouli is a base note in men and women’s fragrances. Very realistic and very good introduction to patchouli.

I LOVE this straight-up patchouli oil. Enormous lasting power, and lasts a long time on me.
Love smelling it on my clothes. My daughter recognizes something that I’ve worn by the patchouli smell. Can’t tell you enough how much I love this….!
Sometimes, I don’t smell it on myself at all and I will get people asking me “hmmm, what are you wearing, you smell soooo nice”…..this happens all the time.
I don’t like patchouli blended with anything else, straight-up is how I take it and love it.

How I love the spicy earthiness of patchouli. I wear it a lot, especially when I am wearing a floral that is sweet & needs something to ground it & give the right pungency offsetting the floral sweetness. This especially works well with single note florals like gardenia, rose or honeysuckle.
I like to mix patchouli with myrrh & make my own anti-mosquito oil. Mixing with Avon’s Skin So Soft Bath Oil a good one, also. Sometimes I will even add frankincense & they blend so well together.
I particularly like to mix patchouli with rose.
When I mix it with other fragrances, I usually use a light touch on the patchouli because it is so potent, it easily overpowers softer scents such as rose.
Oh, my sweet-sharp patchouli!!! ‘Have loved it since I was introduced to it in my teens in the late 60s & 70s. I just never outgrew it! Its been a lifelong love affair!!!

Women always comment on this scent. Iam always drawn to find whos wearing it. Also burn the incense. it seems either u really like or really dont I say sexy.

This smells so bad.. Like cheap house fragrances, or scented candles. Never put it on your body, because it rubs all over the place. I so resented the rest of my night, after I was convinced by a sales person that it wouldn’t smell totally awful… but it did, and it wouldn’t wash off. I had to wait! AND it gave me a headache!! All of the bath and body works oils are really challenging and I wouldn’t wear them.

Mmm for the lovers. It really stands out and lasts very very long. Too bad some people really hate patchoeli. Better check with your loved ones first so that they don’t “bweeh, juk” you 😉
