Reminds me of Montale's Patchouli Leaves...really earthy, chocolate-like patchouli. Potent and suave.

It's been a while since I've heard it and I have to say it's even better since the last time. Patchouli classic mold, slightly dusty

Ever planted in the garden wearing soft kid skin gloves and a cream silk suit? That is what this scent FEELS like. Sultry earth.

Extraordinary take on an ambery patchouli composition that does everything right, except for its surprisingly average performance. Why?

A big patchouli with a fairly complex character in a middle-eastern ambience from the evenly big rose-geranium-amber heart

Best patchouli?

If you are thinking of getting a patchouli fragrance and you do not know which one, search no further.
If you are looking for a sign, this is it! Guys, this scent is simply amazing. You have the gourmandish chocolate cake patchouli feel in the opening which dries down into and intoxicating ambery, earthy and sweet patchouli that just wont leave your skin. Pungent and sexy, the trail is to die for and you will get noticed. Longevity and projection is above average, borderline beast mode! 12+ hours on the skin, days on the clothes.

Yeah Baby!

Chill and let yourself go in the damp, musty, and sweet arms of Mother Earth.
Peace and Love brothers and sisters.
Let’s all sit together around a warm campfire in the woods after the rain, and feel our long locks gently brush the naked skin of our bodies, as we bask in the glow of the moon.
Ravi Shankar and Joan Baez may be playing their funky music, but we’re talking Woodstock for the 21st Century here.
The Age of Aquarius perhaps, but this is more Hippy chic than Hippy shack.
A bombastic patchouli with a mega personality as it is known for, coupled with a healthy dose of yummy vanilla.
Nice one Jovoy.

Chocolate and Patchouli Anyone?...

Psychedelique opens with a quite sweet and almost ginger-like dark candied fruit accord before it changes completely as it enters its mid-section. As the fragrance enters its early heart, the candied fruit from the open begins to slowly morph into a relatively clean musk, slightly sweet amber and earthy patchouli starring trio with dark rose support with the overall early heart accord coming off as a rich dark chocolate. As the fragrance enters the late dry-down, the patchouli takes over in a big way with the amber and musk still present now firmly in supporting roles. Projection is above average and longevity outstanding at over 12 hours on skin.

Psychedelique provides the wearer with quite the ride. It starts off with a nice sweet gingery drunken fruit that turns into to a dark earthy chocolate before finally revealing its true nature in the later part of its dry-down as it proves a real earthy patchouli bomb. When you examine the sparse official list of notes, one might expect a fragrance with a completely different profile but Jacques Flori does a fine job taking familiar notes and accords, skillfully combining them in interesting ways to reveal unexpected surprises. The open and close are the most appealing parts of Psychedelique's development to this review's preferences, as the earthy dark chocolate mid phase is just a bit too gourmand-like. That said, even during its least desirable parts the composition remains interesting and smells quite good. One observation made while wearing it on skin was Psychedelique smells much better when sniffed from afar (or on others) in sillage form rather than up close. The bottom line is Psychedelique is not without its flaws but they are rather minor, and this near excellent 3.5 to 4 star rated composition is definitely sniff worthy and maybe even purchase-worthy despite its $180 a 100ml bottle price tag. Recommended.

Jewel too little recognized as such

It is a fragrance that is based on the patchouli very well reinforced with amber and a certain sweetness that the musk surely gives it, in addition to a vanilla that comes out some time later.
I cannot isolate citrus fruits but they surely contribute to that pungent entry that it has.
It is not a very complicated perfume or with a very changing evolution.
For me it is a shyly dark smell with an earthy and chocolatey touch.
I find it elegant and refined even with the strength and personality it has, seductive in any environment for those who get to smell it because it does not stand out in silage, or even over-application. This has the advantage that although it can be a very powerful weapon, it is extremely discreet.
Lasting can be placed flush with the skin in 10-12 hours with a simple application, although you can get it to peel off a bit and project if you reinforce the application every 4-5 hours.
I only know something better than this perfume, with some of its aspects taken to the extreme and with a greater animalic load, such as Bond-T by Sammarco.

Love it or Hate it? I love it!

It’s real niche scent. I got a 2ml sample and I felt it smelled weird when I first sprayed it because of the strong patchouli punching in your face. Then the patchouli stepped down a little and it became a dark chocolate cake with a hint of patchouli scent after it dried down in about 30 minutes. The chocolate cake scent does last all the way through to the base. It’s yummy yet complex and unique. I left it aside for a week after first try then I was craving to put it on again. A 2ml sample is enough for 2-3 full wear since it’s strong. I used up the sample quickly within a week. Then I knew I had to get a full bottle. Since then, I always crave for it even I have many other gorgeous fragrances. Now it grows more and more on me and I even love the opening too. It also has good performance. My skin usually eats perfumes but it still last 10-12 hours on me and strong projection for the first 4-5 hours. I gave only 9/10 because it’s not so easy to wear. Frankly the scent is edgy so don’t blind buy it but would strongly recommend to give it a try.
