Nice but unexceptional patchouli-vanilla fudge
This is the kind of thing I am more than ready to pass over on my way to more interesting discoveries. It's basically a dulled, floury baking-extract vanilla scent with a touch of patchouli and alcohol at the top. The patchouli departs almost immediately, bringing it with any gravitas or interest the scent may have had. What's left is a plain, doughy vanilla, which is without praise or infamy. It is snuggly and warm, vaguely comforting like all/most vanillas are, but for this price ($140 for 50mls), I would be much happier with something like Un Bois Vanille.

This is far too ordinary and unexceptional for the price being demanded here, and to boot, the sillage and longevity leave much to be desired. Color me underwhelmed (as well as ashamed of myself for spending yet more money on mediocrity.) I am giving this a neutral because it is not unpleasant. Just uninspired, unoriginal, and shamelessly overpriced.

Extraordinary
So many times I've samples a fragrance and the response has been "nice, but won't be buying a bottle", such is the supply and demand in the fragrance world. It's difficult to actually smell something that is so different, so noteworthy, that I seriously consider the niche price tag. Loree Rodkin has provided me with an opportunity to revel in opulence, yes opulence.

From the site notes are listed as 'a lush blend of exotic vanillas with patchouli notes'. I use vision to describe fragrances, vision and experience evoked. The fragrance envelopes, I'm reminded of many things, reclining on a chaise longue wearing something expensive, possibly darkest red, velvet and flowing.

The other reviews I've seen report this as very long lasting, which was to be expected from an oil based sample. Sillage has been reported as soft, though, not when applied generously, as is my preference.

I'm struggling to find a reason not to buy.

Gothic II with the vanilla turned up, the incense turned down, which makes it less interesting (IMO) and even a bit cloying!

Highly recommended if you'd like a soft but very green, vanilla scent. It is blended elegantly.

Patchouli wonderfully counterbalanced by the sweetness of vanilla. Elegant definitely unisex fragrance.
