Traditional PMC base + patchouli = lovely but not new

Perris Monte Carlo fragrances all seems to riff off a common base accord, an opulently rich, padded welt of labdanum resin, vanilla tonka bean, sandalwood, and a smattering of spices that oozes across rooms like an overripe Brie. And honestly, if you don’t love this kind of thing, then there is something seriously wrong with you. Always tremendously warm and likeable, in Patchouly Nosy Be, this thicc double-cream base comes dressed with enough iris to give it a sharp, dove-grey powderiness, and of course, there is a bit of shading from the bitter cocoa and patchouli up top.

But if you love Absolue d’Osmanthe, as I do, and you are willing to invest in only one bottle of Perris Monte Carlo, then know that the same generously upholstered amber mood is guaranteed in both, so you only need to decide which of the top dressing notes – osmanthus, patchouli – you want grafted onto that. This is lazy, paint-by-numbers niche perfumery at its best and for once, I couldn't care less. Give the people what they want.

Soaked, dreamy pillow

Patchouli. Earth. That strange kind of clean dirt — that's what we love about it.
Here, Perris Monte Carlo gives us a classy, fresh, evocative patchouli.
A walk through a forest after the rain — but an imaginary one, filled with lemon trees, pepper plants, cedarwood, and, deep in the background, cacao trees.
A damp wind stirs the air from time to time, blending everything together.
At one point, you think you smell vanilla.
Then you wake up on a soaked pillow.
That earthy scent surprises you again.
At the foot of the bed, your muddy boots are watching you.

Mud on her feet but a lady at heart

Brief history - Patchouli - for me as a sniffing novice it was a new world that opened up, isn't that the weird stuff from the esoteric store, back in the 80s? But it captivated me, I had to experience it, I bravely ordered a bottling, supposedly beginner patchouli. Sprayed.... oh that's good, enraptured with my nose on my arm I start my day's work, but oops, where did the scent go, did it go away? What a pity. The perfumer who sent it to me said it lasts a long time with her....I'll try it again, sprayed it on boldly, regardless of the damage to my skin and clothes - I don't care if my horses like it - none of them complained.

And suddenly there it is, a warm, earthy cloud, Patchouli Nosy Be (with E, not I I was enlightened), you are my best friend when I hop from the shower into everyday life on the eternally gray morning. Vanilla warm earth vibes that caress me, a motherly hug - that's what I like when I head out into the eternally gray-cold winter, you powdery earth cloud with flashes of lemon, you smile at me when I trudge very inelegantly through the mud in my rubber boots and horses' noses brashly demand their breakfast. I'm not wearing a designer coat, only stable wear to keep me warm, but pah, the scent is still the finest. I wake up my cold fingers with thoughts of the aromatic dry summer air that will make life easier in a few months' time. You form the bracket from the morning start until I'm all dressed up for the office, yes I admit, like me, Nosey Be has mud on his feet, but at heart he's a racy lady.

A green forest shrouded in darkness

First impression:
Dark, spicy, earthy (green) and warm/sweet.

The fragrance is really difficult for me to describe. I came across the fragrance because of the patchouli and amber note from Khaltat Night Eau de Parfum, which I had really liked. I was standing in a perfumery and saw the Perris Monte Carlo brand. It didn't mean anything to me, so I just went by the name first. Vanille de Tahiti (already reviewed) and Patchouli Nosy Be. I have to test a fragrance with the note in the name. The fragrance has the typical DNA of Perris Monte Carlo. Somehow there's always something slightly floral about it, but it's so faint that it almost goes unnoticed. Otherwise, it smells very earthy, but not like you would normally imagine earth to smell. It just smelled "green" to me. Like a forest at night, the mixture of earth and green plants in the dark. That describes it best. I compared the fragrance with Patchouli Nosy Be Extrait de Parfum and indeed, the only major difference in the smell is the lack of "green" in the extrait. The scent is dark and spicy, with the woods adding a certain depth to the fragrance, which means that the patchouli does not dominate the scent on its own.
It is interesting to note that another person had smelled the fragrance and identified it as Grand Soir. And indeed, the fragrance does resemble it despite having completely different scent notes (apart from the vanilla, which is rather less noticeable in this fragrance). But they are only similar in certain aspects and definitely not comparable. The Grand Soir is much warmer and sweeter. The association may be similar, but the overall fragrance impression is completely different.

Like a silent dream of earth, cocoa and security

From someone who carries him - with heart, skin and soul.

As soon as the scent touches my skin, I'm no longer here.
I'm sitting in a small hut, somewhere deep in the forest. Outside, the wind rustles through the trees, inside it smells of fresh cocoa, wood and real life.
It is quiet. Beautiful. Safe and secure.
And this is exactly what Patchouli Nosy Be Eau de Parfum smells like.

The patchouli here is not loud, not sharp, not off-putting (at least to my nose).
It is earthy, deep, warm... like damp earth after a summer rain.
It doesn't carry me away, but brings me back to myself.
Then comes this hint of cocoa - dark, comforting, familiar.
Almost as if I find something of myself in the steaming cup.

And then...
the vanilla covers everything - but not sweet or artificial.
No, this is real vanilla.
As if I had just pulled it fresh out of the pod, still warm, still fragrant, still completely pure.
And right at this moment, I feel:
This is not a perfume.
This is a place.

The woods in the background give the fragrance its calm depth, a foundation on which everything rests gently. Nothing is loud. Nothing screams. Everything is in tune - like a quiet song in a minor key.
The longer I wear it, the creamier it becomes, almost melting into my skin.
A gentle pulsation on my skin, like an embrace that lasts.
