Patch and Bergamot, here, there........everywhere.

I thought it was just me, after reading the first review here though my suspicions were confirmed, I smell Bergamot!

Bergamot is not listed but that's what I get, Patchouli and Bergamot.

Jo Malone's Oud & Bergamot comes to mind when wearing this scent.

Patchouli, to me, is really nice, conjuring images of a dark/earthy environment but can easily become olfactory overload.

Great quality and more for casual fare, though easy on the application because I'm guessing that there are plenty of folks that find patchouli an overbearing fragrance note.

Tart, fresh, gei.... Great!

In 2019 I will have a bit of free time after all and I will dedicate it to this very special little room here.
Vetiver patchouli from Montale was recommended to me as a somewhat cheaper alternative to Orage from Louis Vouitton. When it comes to fragrances, I'm usually more of a "main-original-and-in-a-bottle" type. This is the first time I didn't care. And I have no regrets
Vetiver Patchouli is once again a very functional name, following the credo "what's written on it is in it". The Montale company has not yet crossed my path and I don't know of any other fragrance from this house. But it might be worthwhile to throw the nose lasso here again.

VP has almost something sour in the opening, with the complete absence of Zitrik, that was new for me. You almost want to back off a little, because the first inhalation really gets you going. There is a racy freshness in the composition, which was unique for me until then. Vetiver as a single component is good and can be perceived for a very long time, although the other components are not really recognizable individually for me. The fragrance remains relatively constant, although I believe that patchouli seems to become stronger from the base note onwards.
The durability leaves nothing to be desired on me
VP has nothing sweet, gentle or soft. It is quite striking, but still remains somewhat in the background. It does not take up the space for itself, but surrounds the wearer with a harsh, fresh aura. I can think of no situation in which it might not be appropriate as a range of applications. Definitely the best choice is probably the daily work routine, also in customer contact, because despite its initial impact, it becomes a bit more profound. I could imagine that it might get a bit musty in midsummer, but that remains to be seen. VP is declared here as a men's fragrance, in my opinion it is also well wearable by the self-confident ladies.

If you have the opportunity to test it, it's worth it and costs less than half the Orage, with better durability and a fantastic bottle. The sapwood only has to be removed from the travel flacon before use.

Thanks for reading it.

What the he...

After sharing about my absolute favorite scent recently, it's now this one's turn. I'm trying to write as politely as possible. I don't want to offend any lover of this fragrance. But what the heck is it? First of all, I don't know of any occasion where you are supposed to smell like this. But maybe my sense is just going crazy with what I smell and perceive. As always to test I have only sprayed a sprayer on the forearm.
And I immediately perceived a medicinal scent. Like I was rubbing myself to clear my airways. And they were. Which, unfortunately, later proved not to be an advantage. Was that supposed to be the green fresh scent that everyone raves about? Well but mine is not.
Although the start is still the best of the fragrance. And now for all those who have tested the fragrance possibly only briefly on a test strip. After half an hour about the scent changes extremely. As if you stand in an old house where the floor is removed to replace the clay strong by insulation. It smells slightly musty. But if you think that's all it is. There you have deceived yourselves. Shortly thereafter, you are suddenly in the cemetery and smells a freshly dug grave with damp earth.
So this scent development is already ingenious for those who like something like that. But I do not want to smell like that. And for all those who always imagine any people to a fragrance. I imagine an old man with an old work jacket with rubber boots. A cemetery gardener who walks through the cemetery in the morning with damp earth stuck to his boots and old musty leaves stuck to the damp earth. So for me the fragrance is nothing. The durability is certainly good. But I couldn't test it because I had to wash the scent off. The flacon is Montale typical and thus still the best of all.
I would recommend the fragrance now really no one but for those who think that's exactly what I need. I recommend in any case no blind purchase but a previous sample.

The Earl Of Grey Meets Jasmine

With Vetiver Patchouli, Montale has a third patchouli fragrance in its current range this year. Or rather, "patchouli" is part of the perfume name. Are the other two still typical Montale-crackers with a lot of humming - Patchouli-Leaves is a hardcore-patch and comes along quite loud and Patchouli Leather makes the leather whip pop - Vetiver Patchouli is a quiet step.
The attack starts with a strong citrus vetiver note, like bergamot, refreshing, which remains throughout. The fragrance is linear. There's hardly any change. Only the initial severity becomes milder after 5 to 10 minutes. The fragrance then appears rounder. After about half an hour, you can gently guess at some patchouli. But really just a whiff. I wouldn't have guessed it on a blind test. When after about 2 hours the vetiver loses its dominance, jasmine comes to the fore.
After 4 hours the Montale has evaporated. Pretty short-lived, actually. Sillage's okay, I guess. More does not have to be.
If you like fresh, green fragrances, like vetiver and are looking for something else for the summer, you should try it out. A masculine fragrance with aftershave character. A classic that my father could have worn in a slightly different variant. I associate it with shaving soap, barbershop, tweed suit, Sean Connery, Prince Charles, Earl Grey, green nature and cool brooks. A nice scented water that always goes and never disturbs. I prefer to stay with Patchouli Leaves, Profumum Roma Patchouly and Patchouli Noir. And for the very hot days I have the (new) Elixir from Reminiscence. I just let myself get tempted again. I had a hunch, somehow. Not my cup of tea.
Many thanks to Dunki, who could fill me 5 ml of his sharing!

Twin love ❤️❤️

Today I have taken to my heart to write a few lines about my twin love ❤️❤️. Vetiver Patchouli from the house of Montale is the little younger twin brother of the big older brother Orage from the house of Louis Vuitton. Both have a special magic to unfold their fragrance for a long time. Vetiver Patchouli is strong, fresh, tart, dominant and medicinal at the same time. If a picture had to describe the younger brother, it would be in the lower area blue like water and on the horizon the morning sun shines very brightly, and in the air wise jasmine clouds fly past. The big brother Orage comes more gently to the prelude, but also fresh, tart but somehow finer noble tuned. This picture would look the same only the morning sun would not be so bright and the jasmine clouds would be iris clouds. Montale is known for always making a strong appearance where not everyone can handle and does not want to. But both brothers develop in the same direction, fantastic, magical, special and long lasting. Only they are not one hundred percent identical. The price difference is of course there, but love is known to make blind. Since I love them both, as one does with twins. I must have both, am addicted to love. Parfumo makes it possible . ❤️❤️Thank you stay healthy .
