FLOWER-POWER
...in the truest sense of the word!
As part of my Patchouli test marathon, I bought an almost full bottle of this perfume here in the souk and had to take note of the fact that it doesn't always contain what is written on it. Surely I was skeptical because of the scent pyramid, with floral notes the alarm bells ring with me! But after reading the comments I ignored my initial doubts, the fragrance is described here as earthy, dark, woody, even from the cellar patch and stable smell is the talk of the 60s and the hippie movement, so definitely a fragrance that could appeal to me.
All the greater was my disappointment when I sprayed "Patchouli" on my wrist. Instead of the expected patch-drumming, my sense of smell was attacked by floral, floral, vanilla, for my taste much too sweet notes. Yuck! Patchouli? No way! Another perfume that doesn't live up to its promise. In my mind I put it with Moonlight Patchouli (Van Cleef & Arpels) and Noir Patchouli (Histoires de Parfums) in the category "Misdirected". Close the drawer. Check and forget!
Nothing for patchouli lovers and fans of the "hippie scent". Friends of flower power in the sense of floral and flowery could be happy with it.
