This is the pure patchouli with a bit of sandalwood, and geranium.
It’s quite similar to:
+ “Rebel” by Antonio Visconti
+ “Geisha Noire” Aroma M
+ And almost identical to “Patchouli Precieux” by Les Nereides.
If you are the one who loves the real patchouli note, then this will be the best for you, but since you are a patchouli lover, then i believe you will be having an identical other fragrances (other than the ones i mentioned above).

Classic style fragrance based on only one patchouli arrangement.
This patchouli begins with strength and a certain freshness accompanied by burgundy and citrus, here the bergamot feels more strongly. Immediately installed in the scent of the patchouli floral notes of pink, geranium rather light contributing the floral hue these notes remain behind tempering the terrosity of the patchouli, while feel the woods providing some sweetness, density and body. Undoubtedly, what most seduced me is the beautiful note of amber that brings warmth, shine, rich nuances of patchouli.
Curiously the point of the mint creates a very interesting balsamic aura giving enough depth and projection to the aroma.
All this makes this patchouli little earthy, dry, with a slight moldy effect, floral background and very deep.
It has quality and is very well done.
For the negative, I would say that it lacks some projection.
It’s classic, yes !! But this makes this fragrance in timeless, elegant and very wearable even for daily by moderate projection.
The effect of this Patchouli is undoubtedly very hippie, very seventy! I do not know why, I associate this patchouli with a summer that I spent in Ibiza. I’ll keep investigating.

Well, I bought that bottle. And the more I wore it, the more I felt like it just smelled…weird on me. I went to my local health food store and had a sniff of patchouli essential oil to see if I could figure out why this perfume wasn’t smelling how I expected it to.
Turns out, I’m one of those people who didn’t know what patchouli really smelled like, I guess, because this does smell identical to straight patchouli oil. I don’t like the weird minty character that it has…it was one of those smells that I grew to dislike the more I smelled it. I’m not sure why there is such a difference between the way patchouli oil smells and the way patchouli scented products smell, but I have a patchouli body wash that I love, and a patchouli bath fizz that I love. I like the dusty, dry, soft, almost powdery type of patchouli, but Etro’s perfume is sharp, fresh, wet, minty. It smells like something you’d find growing on a tombstone in a dark and damp corner of a graveyard.
I appreciate what Etro did here, but I had to sell my bottle.

This is a fun little ride.
For the first few minutes, it smells like installing an herb garden on a cool and humid day. Pungent plant smells, the kind that may only smell pleasant to massive tree-huggers such as myself. Fresh, loamy potting soil. Compost? You were hiking and you fell on a bush and now it’s emitting this interesting and unfamiliar odor. There’s patchouli. Something minty.
The minty/camphorous note gets stronger and for the next hour or so it smells remarkably like Tiger Balm on my skin — in a good way, I think. I don’t mind it, at least.
But the drydown is what I wait for. THAT is the patchouli I have been trying and trying to find. Creamy, not sweet. Unmistakable but not offensive.
The middle notes of this fragrance are so odd to me that I actually find them quite endearing. I’ve seen lots of people referring to a minty quality in patchouli, and I know what they mean, but on my skin this is seriously minty and camphorous. Like dipping a candy cane in Vick’s Vaporrub. It’s not bad, just unexpected. I like it.
Bought a bottle. Looking forward to trying this sprayed on rather than dabbed from a vial.

I had L’Artisan Patchouli Patch, a great Patch but the Iris made it a bit to feminine for me. So I was looking for an alternative patchouli fragrance and blind bought this based on some great reviews, Colin Mailard, etc. I think Mailard was reviewing a vintage formulation.
I prefer Patchouli Patch, better quality. This is a bright patchouli because of the mint, geranium, and citrus, which are nuances. Nothing special here, a good value if you can get it discounted for about $60/ 100ml.

آرتمیسیا یا درمنه یک جنس گیاهی از خانواده ی گیاهی آستراسه یا کمپوزیته یا آفتابگردان هست. جزو جنس های گیاهی هست که پوشش وسیعی در ایران داره به طوری که گیاهشناس ها ایران رو فرشی میدونن که جنس این فرش از درمنه است و گل های این فرش از گون، احتمالا گیاه گون رو میشناسید.
به هر ترتیب، درمنه در سرتاسر ایران پراکنده است و به کرات اون رو دیدید، مخصوصا در حاشیه و دورنمای جاده های کشور، اگر گیاهان کپه مانند متعددی دیدید، اون احتمال قریب چشم بسته میتونم بگم درمنه است. بوی بسیار تیزی داره، بطوریکه اگر در منطقه ای باشید که پوشش غالبش درمنه باشه لازم نیست از گیاه یه تیکه بکنید و بوش کنید. بوش سرتاسر فضا رو تسخیر کرده. من این عطر رو بو نکردم ولی میتونم تصور کنم چه حس و حال تیزی میتونه به عطر بده

Just when you think you’ve smelled all the patchouli hits, another one comes along. Etro Patchouli is nothing short of perfect.
An elegant, woody patchouli that is supported in the opening by bergamot and orange for a short time, before an outstanding sandalwood takes over and balances out the patch note perfectly. There’s a small compliment of flirtatious mint and cypress lurking in the background with some geranium in their hair and a light touch of amber/vanilla to lend some sweetness. But apart from the dominant patch/sandalwood presence in this, for me the star is artemisia. It announces itself in the opening, lasts throughout and is one of the most well executed examples of this note I’ve yet experienced.
So…for me, Etro Patchouli is a refined, classy, woody patch featuring primarily sandalwood and artemisia, subtly supported by a compliment of other notes (mentioned above), and has gone straight up near the top of my favorite patchouli scents. So far I’ve been enjoying it’s presence for 6 hours, from a few little dabs, so I’d suggest that it’s performance is excellent also! I see an FB in my future for sure…in fact, I’m off to eBay now!

not bad. I like patchouli a lot, but I guess I prefer a sharper, greener patchouli than a sweet or spicier patchouli scent. But I still enjoyed this one a bit. Kind of starts of with a Italian Cyprus vibe, but sweeter and shorter lived. Then I mostly get patchouli and sort of like a spicy type tea. I wouldn’t really say like Gucci Pour Homme II, but heavier because of the amber.

The consultant says “I have one more thing to show you.”, sprays this on the paper and hands it to me with a dramatic flourish.
The smell reaches my nose, I close my eyes, lose any semblance of poise and make a GAH noise. “Glory. Yes! Mine.”, I think to myself. “It’s quite unique. I like it.”, I say to the consultant hoping to make up for the previous, slightly unbalanced display.
But no. I want this. I desire. Must go back to try on skin.
Since I can’t make a pie chart, impression by strength, (though these don’t work in a disjointed matter, I wouldn’t say):
-dry;
-sharp;
-smoky;
-patchouli, incense;
Update: went back to try on skin. My very (dubious) soul resonates with this. Impression by strength:
-dry/smoky/fresh/patchouli;
-fresh/smooth incense;
-an overall hint of coolness reminiscent of the way it always seems cooler in rural and forest areas;
-something almost .. zesty and edible in the drydown. By that time, it sit very close, but if you squish your nose against your skin, it’s there.
Longevity, on skin (even intentionally oiled), is mediocre, which is tragic because it’s not a scent you want to go away, ever, and the silage gets very close to skin quite soon.
Overall, it’s a very harmonious, unified fragrance. Apart from the obvious patchouli&incense, no note jumps at me, and I can’t untangle it from the others.

Alcoholic Green herbal note on opening… Something little bit fresh, but it goes away too fast.
Then, it tames down, giving us something earthy and dirty that come from the patchouli and cypress.
When drydown comes, we get still the patchouli, less intense, but with ambery notes.
For patchouli lovers, i guess it could be a good one.
But i am not… So what can i do?!
Sillage and Longevity were very very nice on my skin
😀

Tomorrow it`s my birthday, so I decided to make a present for myself. On me it`s patchouly+artemisia+ambra+sandal+musk, no orange, no vanilla at all. No sweetness. I love it! It`s already autumn here in Russia, so it makes me feel really comfortable to smell this warm perfume when it`s cold)) It`s expensive here, I payed around 100 euros for it but it`s worth it))) I`m totally happy))

I love the head shop hit as you spray it on and the sexy incense trip once it settles in, but avoid smelling your wrists unless you like the smell of dirty wet straw with a touch of vanilla. It smells much nicer on my clothes than directly on me – patchouli (naturally), orange and bergamot, musk and a bit of sandalwood.
ziza356 – :
An elegant, classy oriental perfume, fanatastic for true patchouly lovers.
There is no sweetness in this one! Sharp orange opening and than smoky patchouly, patchouly, patchouly, musk and some dry vanilla. Very nice incensy overall smell.

Hey man, this stuff is groovy.
A very luminous, potent, earthy, spicy, bright patchouli. It’s hard to avoid smelling like an old hippy with a patchouli fragrance and this still has all the familiar characteristics we associate with this kind of scent, but it’s a good deal brighter and has a more transparent vibe to it. Gosh; it’s practically thrown away the Kaftan and is wearing a suit.
I just wish it wasn’t so expensive.
Very impressive… and lasts for days.

REally love this stuff.I layer it under really boring scents.adds a lil spice.Make 1000s of perfumes xixing this with fumes u have.

This is my favorite Patchouly fragrance. Of course I like Patchouli scents from L’Artisan, Lutens, and Montale, but this one is earthy and sharp, with an oriental vanilla bottom. Too spicy and woody, sensual and dark, thrilling and mysterious, animal and almost disturbing. You`ll enjoy this scent especially in autmn and winter!
