Amber Patchouli Nights Jesus del Pozo 2018
Name is not a prophecy
Until now, I only knew Ambar and Arabian Nights by Jesus del Pozo, and since neither of them really blew me away, del Pozo was filed away as a second-tier interesting brand.
Then I unexpectedly came across a leftover bottle of Amber Patchouli Nights.
Of course, the name generated certain associations and expectations that were not initially met.
Nevertheless, when I first sniffed at the spray head - wow, it smells great!
Although it doesn’t smell like what I know as amber, definitely not like patchouli, and I wouldn’t describe it as an overtly oriental evening or night fragrance either.
In fact, I find it difficult to describe the scent progression.
Somehow, the notes of the pyramid tumble around wildly on my skin and are everything at once: spicy-floral-fruity-woody.
The jumble is beautiful, perhaps that’s why I lack the words for a precise description. Could this be the reason why this olfactory gem has only received two statements so far?
The most distinctly perceivable notes are Guaiac wood (which reminds me of Gaiac by Micallef), jasmine, and tuberose.
In some other fragrances, tuberose can be challenging and has enormous headache potential, but here I can tolerate it well and perceive it as an indispensable part of the overall composition.
The namesakes certainly contribute their part, but I cannot explicitly identify them.
This may also be because I had a pronounced patchouli phase in the last few weeks, and nothing could be strong enough to envelop me in that regard, which has dulled my nose to the note.
The aura of Amber Patchouli Nights is warm, inviting, friendly, unobtrusive for me.
And the bottle also appeals to me with its beautiful berry tone and playful star pattern.
My heartfelt thanks to M., through whom I get to enjoy this fragrance!
