Patchouli 24

Let me start by saying there is no patchouli in this.

If you're looking for a patchouli or think this contains patchouli then I suggest you smell Patchouli by Reminiscence to properly recognize patchouli.

This perfume is wonderful. It starts out strong and smoky. Plenty of birch tar and styrax (resins).

I can't compare it to anything except Sombre Negra by Yosh.

The leather in it is nothing like the one in Derby, Knize 10, Cuir de Russe, Tuscan Leather, Cuir Ottoman or Gomma. Its a different leather if one can classify it as a leather to begin with.

Later, much later on in the dry down it softens to a vanilla pod drenched in the remnants of birch tar and styrax.

Its certainly unique smelling. Created by Annick Menardo who also created Bvlgari Black.

And I was already wondering why I liked this so much :-) I am very picky with patchouli as I often cannot wear it. When I smelled Le Labo´s version of it I found it very mild and pleasing.
