The Name Says It All
It says Patchouli on the label, and guess what, there’s Patchouli in it.
It is a dry, pleasant representative of the type, and those who like Patchouli and want to smell exactly like that, with friendly sillage and longevity, and prefer a perfume, will be well served here.
I don’t need it. I compared the perfume one-to-one with my Patchouli oil (purchased from the Mekkanische Rose), which according to the label comes from India, but smells exactly like Patchouli Indonesiano. The difference, however, is that PI has a nicer sillage. Is it due to the alcohol or other ingredients? The scent is the same. Maybe it’s quite good for layering.
Edit: In the drydown during my paper test comparison of pure Patchouli and Patchouli Indonesiano, my pure Patchouli is now ahead. It lasts significantly longer, there’s not much left to smell from the Indonesiano, the oil is still strong. And the longer I sniff it, the more uninspired I find Patchouli Indonesiano. There’s nothing else in it but Patchouli. You can’t really call that a perfume! I can also dilute Patchouli with alcohol and bottle it.

Very honest review and nice test. You're absolutely right, I only recognize patchouli as well. So in that sense, it's definitely a business decision 🤔
