For those of tender sensibilities, look away now.
This smells like puke in a tar pit, burned gasoline, dirt, mold, hard water from an outdoor tap. No.

Beautiful. Dry and honest. Classy and elegant. For men and women. Finally a patch fragrance without amber or vanille. Patch as the main player. No need for the company of others. Not even from patchouli’s buddy ‘the rose’. A patchouli that is calming, intriguing and so earthy that it brings me home. And at the same time it’s so spiritual that I never walk that path alone.
I am veryinterested in the differences between this perfume and Santa Maria Novella Patchouli (except for the price…!)
Can anybody tell me? Thanks in advance!

And this is just why we have to SAMPLE before ever buying a full bottle of NICHE colognes because there DEFINITELY not for everyone,I bought a 5ml sample of this cologne and I’m just so glad I didn’t buy a larger size,it’s just NOT ME AT ALL,to DEEP,to DARK,to WOODSY,to RAW,now this is just my opinion, others seem to love it and that’s what makes fragrances a real attraction,but this is just NOT FOR ME AT ALL, REMEMBER,BUY SAMPLES WHEN YOUR DEALING WITH NICHE COLOGNES,THERE JUST NOT FOR EVERYONE…

As advertised. All patchouli all the time. Brings back memories of the rotting leaves I used to smell in a lake that I swam in when I was a small child.

This is a nice, natural smelling straight up patchouli scent. Enough said. Worth a sample if you’re a patchouli fan.

A majestic patchouli.
Camphor, earthy at the same time with dusty aspects, we can consider that it is virtually an extract of this wonderful chord.
It has a differential which is almost ” dirty ” also velvety and somewhat spicy.
Finally, all features that require in a quality patchouli, everything is centered with this focus, beautiful for me, because I love that note.
Rating: 9/10

reformulated, and costs +5 euro than before as an added bonus

A cool dirty authentic patchouli. No nonsense just singular patchouli as it’s meant to be. Quite earthy and especially good for a warm/ hot day. Smells almost identical to Villoresi patchouli to me but loses a few points due to it’s lesser projection (perhaps because the former is an EDT and this is an EDP).
Scent 8.5/10
longevity 8.5/10
sillage 7.5/10

This is such a raw, unsweetened and earthy patchouli, even for a patchouli lover like me it’s difficult to bear, although it quite fascinates me. I sense liquorice in it, or maybe real patchouli has a liquorice undertone. I have never tried patchouli oil, but I imagine this is how it smells like. For die-hard patchouli fans exclusively, and even for them I wouldn’t recommend a blind buy.

Pleasant italian artisan perfume, a shower of patchouli and patchouli, enough?

Great Patchouli but very persistent and too expensive. Supreme Patchouli by Blancheide costs much less, is the same and is more persistent.
Swoneroprew – :
Patchouli + cobwebs. Very earthy, dry, dusty, and almost moldy.
This is how an antique rocking horse that’s been sitting in an attic for several years would smell.
All that being said, I like it. It’s full of character and smells like historical objects.

If you love quality, unadorned Indonesian patchouli, this is great!
My collection of patchouli oils varies from awful to wonderful, but this is truly wonderful.
Useful bottle too as you can use it as a splash or attach the included spray top instead.

I love patchouli, and I guess I expected this to blow me away, but maybe I am learning that I like my patchoulis best when blended with other notes. It started out bracing, camphorous, and dirty, and within an hour it was a velvety smooth, warm, and woody skin scent, but Patchouly Indonesiano had very poor staying power on my skin and was barely detectable after that first hour. Four hours later there was no trace of it on my wrist. I like it for being a high-quality single note fragrance, but I would have to reapply it constantly to be able to fully enjoy it.
Update: retesting this in spring weather, it turned rather musty on me and I didn’t get the bracing camphor blast I usually like from my patchouli.

I got this because I hoped it would be hard to love, so the best analogy I can think of is of sampling an especially alarming single-malt scotch after getting used to Cutty Sark (essential patchouli oil from the co-op).
Some notes are surprising (B-vitamin), some not (camphor, dirt, rat piss) , but just like you wake up from the Exceptional Evening with unmistakable whisky-testing mouth whether or not you recall the high-brow nuances of the partaking, PI is only exceptional if you’re interested in paying attention. Otherwise, you’re in the ballpark for 1/10 of the cost.

Il solito patchouly troppo carico, troppo umido, che finisce dopo un paio d’ore per diventare muffa su di me che sono tagliata meglio per elixir de patchouly di Reminescence. Poco studiato nella sua composizione al fine di evitare gli….. “effetti collaterali” del patchouly e le scivolate sul bagnato….

I have been through two bottles of this, and I have a ambivalent relationship with it. Most of the time I love it for it’s true, up-front patchouli note – it’s everything that patchouli is supposed to be. This would be: camphoraceous, dusty, earthy, dry, linear and even wine-like at at times.
However, sometimes I think that I’d get the same results by adding a good amount of aged patchouli absolute, iso e super, a touch of cedar and a synthetic musk (all easily obtainable) to some perfumer’s alcohol. This would probably result in a similar scent for a good deal less $$. There really isn’t much more to this other than patchouli and some bolstering modifiers.
It just depends on the day. Nonetheless, if you love patchouli, this will be absolute heaven for you – nobody will mistake what you’re wearing.

Dust and patchouly. And a little more earthy dust. In my imagination this is the type of dust that could be found settling on a crypt or kicked underneath the heels during a dry desert walk.
