Oudh Patchouli

Patchouli Oudh

Al Haramain

Well, that's how it is when you can't think of a better title.
Whatever.
"Huch, what comes in from outside" shot through my mind when the UPS driver rang my doorbell and handed me my package.
There it was, straight from the Emirates from Al Haramain Perfumes.
Quickly unpacked, all the advertising flyers set aside and the plastic removed.
The bottle is identical to the Leather Oud, just in brown, so all good.

The first spray immediately reveals a hefty dose of patchouli, not that deep earthy slightly musty chocolatey kind, but rather sweet, noble, almost a bit green.
Whether this is due to the oud, my nose cannot tell me.
This basic structure remains intact for a long time until a soft oriental leather replaces the green.
I can't detect the sandalwood and the mentioned musk here, but that could also be because I've only been wearing it for 3 hours.
The performance is quite strong at the beginning but then dims a bit, yet it always makes its presence known.
I might write an update on the performance topic.

UPDATE:
Now, 12 hours and a shower later, it is still present.
That gets full marks.
