Fragrance pyramid? Watt'n ditte?
Ok, straight to the point : no idea what's in there, but with the fragrance pyramid, which can be found here, this has absolutely nothing, nothing, nothing to do.
For me, Patchouli of the Underworld starts restrained incense and almost a bit vetiver-fresh. Short orientation phase (5 minutes) and then the Hades Express but goes!
Leather, amber, labdanum, a touch of raspberry, warm leather again, some cinnamon, vanilla. Either alternating or all together. Pepper? Yes, is probably with the leather accord. Woods? Yes, also ok. But patchouli? I do not notice anything of it.
This spicy-herb-warm experience is just so damn good that I already sniff again and again for five hours on the back of my hand and can not believe what I smell there.
Durability is thus given. Top. At the same time Patchouli of the Underworld is not a bit "encroaching" and does not waft through the whole room, which I personally find very pleasant. A sovereign gentleman, whose battle scars from the arena you recognize only when you get closer. (Höhö an obligatory reference to the Roman Empire may not be missing in ner Electimuss review of course, höhö)
Flacon? Old steward, the thing is cool! Stylish, elegant, but also pompous, without being ostentatious. If I look now only the flacon stinks every other brand off. Period. Xerjoff, House of Oud, Nishane and yes, even Roja - can all smoke in the pipe. This is the gold standard. Sure, has nothing to do with the fragrance, but I do not buy an S-class in pink. The eye smells with and if you pay 290 €, you also want a certain experience. You get that here. Guaranteed. The outer packaging is also ok, but here comes Xerjoff again around the corner and kicks the Electimuss with a run against's shins. The Italians can do MUCH better.
Joah, remains the price. As I said - 290 € is a lot of wood. Period. That's just the way it is and actually I think that no perfume should cost so much.
Do I pay it anyway? But so what! So who is looking for reasons with which he can justify this expenditure...
- simply times on nen Sale in your Parfumerie wait, then there's determined times 10-20% discount
- there are 100 ml in the bottle - that's quite a lot and in some fragrances call competitors for 50ml higher prices.
- Craft an incredibly well made fragrance. You do not even have to like him to realize that something really, really great was created here.
P.S.: yes, I find this fragrance insanely good. Nevertheless, I throw here not with numerical superlatives around me. A 10 sillage or durability? Sorry, it just doesn't have that. Maybe an Amouage Interlude or a Roja Amber Aoud has that, but not Patchouli of the Underworld. Just as a Ferrari is not a worse car because you can not get a Euro pallet on the non-existent loading area, the Patchouli of the Underworld is not a worse fragrance because you can not scent a warehouse room-filling with him. Deal with it.
H/S are characteristics, not quality characteristics. Therefore, I also award 6 points in the sillage. Who wants a "Beast Mode fragrance" (boh, I can no longer hear the term), must look for another fragrance. But who wants an underworldly, but unearthly fragrance experience with an excellent durability (and also pay for it), which will find here.
So. Weißte Bescheid.
