Plum Patchouli Anthropologie

Christmas Shopping in New York
Rockefeller Center, Thursday, December 15 of this year, around 5:30 PM local time in New York.
Since we still had a little time before the elevator was supposed to take us to the Top of the Rock and it was really freezing outside, we strolled a bit in the shopping mall under the Rockefeller Center.
We immediately discovered the Anthropologie store, and while my sister browsed through the clothes, I was drawn to the beauty corner, and how could it be otherwise, straight to the fragrances.
I sniffed a few that didn’t really impress me at all, too sweet, too cloying, too well... whatever.
Then Plum Patchouli caught my eye and, being as fearless as I am ;-), I boldly sprayed it on my wrist.
Time was pressing, we had to go, we wanted to go all the way up to see New York at night with its glittering lights.
And the whole time (well, maybe not the whole time) I had my nose on my hand thinking: "Wow, I have to have this!"
So, after a successful ride to the top, including tons of photos, back to the store and bought it.
At first, I smell chocolate and a good plum liqueur. Not too boozy, not too sweet, just right. I can't perceive the bergamot and strawberry that are supposedly still present,
I of course did my research on what should be in it, and was somewhat surprised when I discovered the fragrance pyramid. Lily, rose, and jasmine I wouldn’t have expected, but even knowing that, you can at best just sense the flowers.
However, I really love the patchouli, it floats above everything, not earthy and musty, but rather the Coromandel-Chanel variant, and emphasizes the wonderful base of amber and vanilla, which is also quite noticeable.
All in all, a beautiful, in my opinion, spicy-warm fragrance that fits perfectly into the colder season. For longevity, it has earned solid points, lasting easily ten hours, although it does become quite close to the skin after that.
I also find the bottle beautiful, designed by New York artist Emily Grady Dodge, who has also created a whole series of other items for Anthropologie under the Artist Atelier line.
A souvenir that will always remind me of my Christmas shopping in New York!
