Shimmering, gorgeous, resinous Patchouli ambrosia. Oh how I love you Profumum, makers of simple, natural and beautifully blended fragrances! This my fourth full bottle acquisition from this amazing and unique line follows their usual formula: to keep things real and simple. Here natural patchouli extract is blended with just 3 more ingredients: amber, sandalwood and incense. The resulting juice is simply divine, a beautiful and austere patchouli fragrance that simply glows the moment it lands on my skin. Unisex, with moderate to strong projection and absolutely long lasting, this is a classic of perfumery. Yes they are expensive but the quality of the product is so high that it somehow doesn’t matter. Patchouli lovers and those into orientals absolutely need to try this one. Pure Nirvana. Enjoy!

As a hard-core patchouli junkie, between the listed notes and the glowing reviews, I was confident I would love this. I’m testing it from a tiny 0.07 mL sample, and I’m wondering if they put the wrong product in there, because all I smelled was industrial-strength disinfectant from the opening notes through the next hour, when it took an odd gourmand detour.
It was like I was sitting in a freshly cleaned public latrine, then an hour later, somebody wearing vanilla musk came in and sat in the next stall eating a chocolate pastry. Shortly after that, it all evaporated, except for a faint whiff of indistinct soap, as if I’d washed my hands with the soap dispenser in that latrine before leaving.
I never got even a tiny hint of patchouli during that entire experience. The only positive I can say about it is that it wore off quickly.

Beautiful patchouli fragrance that begins minty and skanky and quickly evolves into a woody, frankincense-blended patchouli. Spiritual patchouli. It dries down to …HOLY SWEET AMBER! You best like strong and sweet oriental amber fragrances thick like maple syrup to enjoy the later phases of this. But really classy patchouli fragrance overall.
iwx049Bessinepome – :
The main agreement of this fragrance revolves around patchouli, a patchouli that is noticeable from the beginning, patchouli that feels strong and very energetic, since it stands out greatly from the rest of notes (it takes more than 50% concentration of this oil essential).
The amber accompanies this patchouli throughout the life of this fragrance, this amber is of classic and pure lines giving a very oriental and balsamic air to the chord, brings the warm and sweet bed (well avainillado) to the composition with soft spicy nuances and Woody, which suits him very well.
The effect of the incense causes a vaporous and dry aura effect, it is like a soft smoke, a warm breeze that brings density and more body, which makes everything feel very well integrated.
We must congratulate Profumum Roma for the tremendous quality of its essences, in that sense it is a perfumed, this makes it perform tremendously well on skin. The projection is moderate, but hard and hard and hard …..
On the other hand, I feel that the composition is very linear, lacks complexity, with a predictable development, alone, they have focused on a good chord, according to that yes, heavy, generous, even baroque, come on !! To cut with knife and fork, that makes this patchouli can be turned with its use, a dull monotonous and boring. Still I liked it a lot.
Rating: 7.5
zakxadar – :
Not for everyone, but I love it. Amber and patchouly stick out with a little incense. Decent sillage and excelleny longevity. I’d grade this an A but again, not for everyone, especially if you like lighter, flowery fragrances.
chiker – :
Patchouli indeed, very dirty and sweet with, to me, very prominent chocolate facets to it. A gourmand leaning patch.
twq318Unlogrere – :
Just bought a bottle of PR’s Patchouly last weekend! I love patchouli and this is a beautiful, well rounded, well blended patchouli. The first blast is the patchouli and sandalwood, then the incense and then the amber on the dry down. Then just before the dry down I am smelling just the slightest “ghost” of mint. It may be the amber and sandalwood mixing, but I can swear it’s just the smallest whiff of mint. Perhaps patchouli is in the mint family? I don’t know. What I do know is that this is an amazing patchouli that lasts and lasts. It’s very earthy, a little dirty and skanky (which I love), and it’s strong. But, it’s definitely not a “who the hell is wearing all that patchouli???” type of fragrance. If it can be said that it’s strong and subtle at the same time, then it is. It is elegant and yet it smells like rich earth too. I smell my wrist a few times a day with Profumum’s Patchouly… It’s very calming and sexy too. I sprayed the back of my partner’s neck with this. Heaven, and he loved it too. I said in an earlier review of another one Profumum Roma’s offerings, that they were spoiling me for other perfumes or colognes!
pavel_vpa – :
There is a good deal of moss and well-done musk in this as well. In fact in the far drydown that’s all that remains, along with a faint amber. And that’s not a bad thing! Like another reviewer mentioned, it’s “sexy”.
Gorgeous. Best patch imo.
zLou – :
This is not bottle worthy for me:
1) Identical to cheapo Réserve Naturelle.
2) Santa Maria Novella smells much better and is half the price. SMN is less sweet and more herbal.

Real Deal Patchouli
For all the modern, polished, anemic patchouli out there, watch out, this is the real deal. This is raw, camphorous, bitter stuff. I love it. Real earth patchouli. Eventually the base notes appear, whopping dose of incense and beautiful sandalwood, vanilla, amber, the supporting notes make this so rounded, almost chewy in texture, and becomes almost sweet as it wears. Lovely, beautifully blended, excellent sillage (almost too much! This can be suffocating) and longevity. If you can afford this, what an awesome patchouli.
Reminds me also of Chanel Coromandel and Serge Lutens Borneo 1834.

Patchouly Profumum Roma for women and men- 2004
كم أعشق الباتشولي عندما يعد ويقدم بأيدي ماهرة تعرف كيف تتعامل معه والعكس :
في عطرنا هذا الباتشولي لاعب رئيسي قدم بزفة رائعه هادئة رزينة جذابه على وقع نغمات من العنبر السويتي الجميل الذي خفف وكبح جماح الباتشولي ونغمات انيقه جدا من خشب الصاندل ليضفي هو والعنبر طابع كريمي بلمسيي سويتي، جورمانديي، رائعاً بمشاركة خجولة جدا من البخور
تلك الزفة تمت في ضل أجواء ليلة مقمرة ممطرة تساقطت قطراتها على ورقيات الباتشولي الرطب هنا لتعطيك شعور بالانتعاش عندما تقترب لتشم الباتشولي الذي امتزج برائحة المطر ونسمات الهواء العليله الباردة التي توقض حواسك.
فعلا عطر يداعب الحواس واعجبت به كثيراً واراه من أجمل عطور الباتشولي التي وقعت بين يدي
هذا العطر استطيع اقول انه فيه جانبا حالماً جميلاً مناسب للاستخدام من وجهة نظري ليلاً اكثر منه نهاراً
واضعه في صف عطور كثيره أمثال :
Rich wood xerjoff
Coromandel chanel
Patchouli Franck Boclet
moon patcouly وطبعا هو اجمل من عطر مون باتشولي بكثيررررررررر
جمال الرائحة 9/10
عيب هذا العطر هو التميز عطور كثيره سبقته ولكن بالنسبة لي لن يمنعني من اقتنائه وحتى استخدامه صيفاً راااااائع
الغير متعمق في عطور الباتشولي قد يرى العطر حاد او ثقيل وبالنسبة اراه عكس ذلك فمن جرب عطور الباتشولي الاخرى سيعرف معنى الحدة 🙂
لاتنس ذكر الله والصلاة على النبي.
سبحان الله وبحمد سبحان الله العظيم
تحياتي العطرة

Today is Patchouli Friday!! Yay! I must admit this was not love at first sniff. The first time I got a sniff of this I was taken a back by the pungent green patchouli. To me it smelled like a sweaty armpit or simply just body odor! I could not stand a minute of it, why would anyone want to smell like that was beyond me, isn’t that exactly what one is trying to mask by wearing a perfume? Oddly enough, my mom did not find this unpleasant in fact she said I smelled wonderful ugh(is this like the dress thing where people can smell totally different things?). The dry down turns it into a more smoky, sweet, caramel like patchouli which is very very nice. Too bad I have to endure 1 hours of pure pain just to get there, the more I wear it the more I like it, it kind of grows on you.
Excellent longevity and sillage, one spray is enough to leave a scent trail wherever you pass by and if you stay long enough it will leave a remanent sillage. As with the other Profumum perfumes, this has the signature Profumum DNA of myrrh and incense that is not always shown in the breakdown.
Update
I don’t know why but this reminds me so much of the famous Dior Homme Intense.
Update
Moving it from ‘like’ to ‘love’. To put it simple, if you love DHI you MUST try Patchouly. It doesn’t have that many notes but it is more rich and warm.
antonagafonov33 – :
Quite creamy sweet I found, amber dominant and patchouli nearly non evident. For the pure patchouli fans it is probably not for you as too much amber, warmth and sweetness there. I smell lots of vanilla for some reason. Best way to describe it is a nice less flowery version of patchouli leaves by montale. I found the projection a bit soft for my liking.
scent 8/10
sillage 7/10
longevity 8/10

If you are as wary of patchouli as I am, than this will not convert you. A very earthy, natural smelling patchouli plant. Muddy, smoky, bitter dark chocolate; heavy and cloying.
For a real patchouli lover, perhaps this is the Ark, but I honestly couldn’t imagine it smelling nice on anyone. To me it smells like a greedy child who fell asleep in some shrubbery. Reminded me slightly of “1697” by Frapin.
Nikki Belucci – :
This is one of the really high quality patchouli beasts out there. Forget all the others if you are after a high fidelity patchouli that announces itself firmly and stays for the long haul. As has been noted below, this one starts off loud, with a cognac like, boozy note and a really earthy, green, slightly dirty patch bordered by hints of that ‘chocolatey’ patch goodness. It settles down after 10-20 minutes to reveal the supporting cast of a beautiful smokey sandalwood (almost like when one burns real sandalwood on a charcoal burner as a room scent), with delightful wafts of benzoin or copal peeking out from time to time, much more so in the dry down, where that incense vibe really shines. Then there’s the amber, done just how I like it. Not too sweet or sticky, more of a dried down, deep and sensual vibe, which helps pull the leash back on the wild patch note. As a whole, balance is the key word that comes to mind. Every note is blended in perfect proportion to one another, to create one of the classiest (no hippy head shop vibe here), sexiest patchouli scents on the market. Wait….did I just call patchouli sexy? Well there you go, who’d have seen that coming!
Profumum Roma just never seem to let me down. Their heavy emphasis on high quality raw materials set them apart from many houses out there, and the price tag they ask is reflective of this. But then again, for such high quality, long lasting scents, isn’t it worth spending a little more? Their fragrances are so strong that a bottle is bound to last the prudent wearer a very long time. Their take on Olibanum is another mind blower if you like incense scents and Patchouli, is something every patch lover should have in their wardrobe. Unisex, elegant, mysterious and dare I say it again, sexy! A real knock out.
kilerx – :
This stuff smelt so great on the blotter card, I mean so, so great, so rich and deep, that I was very sad when I put it on my skin!
It ponged the car out I was sat in – so badly, I had to buy wet-wipes from a shop and stand in the street wiping it off.
Admittedly, the man in the shop DRENCHED my wrist in the stuff – so much so that it left an oil-slick when it dried down!
I wanted to love it but alas, could not.
Too over-powering, too strong.
I’d recommend everyone smell it as it’s a beautiful smell but wear it before buying!
palik – :
A considerable dose of Patchouli, heavy and definitely long lasting, but not original. You can find other scents with the same intensity at a much lower price.

Simple But Lovely Patchouli
Profumum Patchouly is simple: Patch, Sandalwood and Amber. However the olfactory quality and the proportion of these three ingredients makes this composition lovey and so alluring. The sandalwood adds a woody creaminess and powder feel to the patch. The amber adds a little sweetness and warmth. And the patch is just of the highest quality, authentic, real, earthy, beguiling, and elegant…no hippy feel here…the traits of the ingredients are superb…one can really smells and be charmed by the top quality in this composition. Longevity is long and silage is noticeable without being overreaching…warm temperatures light up the patch here, so a little prudence in hot weather.
If you like patchouli, this composition will not disappoint. This is patchouli at its best.
Preornelymn – :
Deep, rich, earthy bottled ‘manliness’ with staying power that is in its own league. The high content of natural essence concentration they use is very evident in the quality. It starts with a blast of complex and saturated patchouli and finishes with a cuddly warm almost chocolate base, and on the neck… trouble.
pro100maximys – :
Im a man as well and i wear this with out a problem 🙂 . It is actually one of my favorites and my lady loves this on me not that it matters .Its a quality perfume with an amazing aroma without gender borders ,If you like a fragrance rock it be it for male or female if you can pull it off that is 😉
tema777 – :
One of my favorite patchoulis on the market. This is such a warm, dark, sensual fragrance. It showcases patchouli in all its facets: slightly medicinal, slightly dirty, woody and balmy with a visceral almost chewy richness. The amber is a prominent supporting note in this perfume (though it is not particularly sweet so much as resinous), the sandalwood and incense are much less prominent.
I love wearing this to unwind at the end of the day as its so warm and enveloping. Absolutely unisex and a great fragrance for a couple to share. That is, IF you are willing to share. 😉
ETA: beware, this is highly concentrated and will stain your skin and clothes so apply carefully.
monax46 – :
Patchouly Profumum Roma is a rich, gorgeous patchouli/amber scent. The patchouli is earthy, musty, medicinal, and intense, however it is balanced with a full sensual amber, which develops into ambergris (as mentioned by the previous reviewer). The amber note is sweet and buttery-rich, and is the perfect foil for the not-so-tame patch. Also, a little goes a long way; the juice is so rich and concentrated that one spray is lethal.
My nose is glued to my wrist.
9/10
mr_1992 – :
Wow, this is strong with patchouly funk right up front and it takes a while to settle down. I’m glad it does settle, because I’m not a patchouly lover. Once it settles you get a little touch of ambergris (not a sweet tree resin or labdanum, but more like the warm grey amber note). At some point I began to get a distinct Play-Doh and Leather combination, which I…loved. I’m not sure if this scent matches my appearance and general presence but I may consider a full bottle. Very, very interesting take on Patchouly. Profumum never fails to make interesting fragrances.
MARA777 – :
Patchouli is here paired with a strong note of amber (benzoin, labdanum)- not what I expected with the frag’s title. Still, a pleasant-enough blend… I believe I detect a subtle note of pine which vibes well with the astringent side of patchouli (calling to mind ‘Thundra’), and a touch of black pepper and cinnamon, perhaps? It works- a handful of naturally-complex, beautiful notes- high-quality, but I don’t find it as well-balanced and stunningly-original in effect as some of the house’s other otherings: if only the amber were toned down just a wee bit… as this note is obviously an obsession with one of the noses; in this context I find it a bit smothering.
alexandri – :
I’m rapidly becoming a Profvmvm Roma fanboi 🙂 .
Wore this today for the first time and really enjoyed it. The opening hits you pretty good – it has that raw patch to it – but as it quiets down the juice gets sweeter and the amber/sandalwood comes through. To my nose, I smell chocolate/cocoa and vanilla in the mid and base notes – though they aren’t listed. The incense is awfully minimal here and doesn’t seem to last through the drydown.
More unisex IMO than some of the unisex patch’s are. Lots of them go too sweet to counter the raw patch (silly rabbits!). I don’t get that from this juice.
It hasn’t unseated CDG’s LUXE Patchouli as my favorite patch, but it’s quality stuff IMO.
Antecesem – :
Ever since 1967, when I was a run-away teenager in the Haight Ashbury trying [and failing] to be a flower child, I have loathed the nasty, oily, musty smell of patchouly exuding from the bodies around me. And I have avidly avoided patchouly ever since.
Or at least I did until I received this amazingly gorgeous Patchouly from Profumum Roma in a grab-bag of samples from the Perfumed Court a few months ago.
THIS patchouly is irresistable! It is rich, deep, intense, complex, with a strong redeeming sweetness that balances out the musty quality.
This is a beautiful scent!

Questo profumo è il migliore profumo che del pachouli abbia odorato
viktor43 – :
This is the kind of patchouly where if you forget you are wearing it, a decadent waft of dark chocolate rises mischievously to remind you. It goes on a little musty at first, but as the heart emerges, it becomes a deep, woody, chocolate patchouli, which I find slightly more masculine than feminine. This makes it feel a little naughty to me, being that it’s just on the cusp of what I think I can get away with wearing. If the incense note was more dominant, I think it would be even better, but that might also make it a little more feminine.
It’s great for Autumn, and I certainly want it! It also feels well-crafted. 🙂

This scent is the best patchouli scent I ever smelled.It is sweet,with notes of chocolate in its base,soft and warm.A wellness scent for cold days.
