Delicious, dark, dry vanilla patchouli
I was born in the 1990s so I cannot speak to the context of this fragrance, though wearing it today felt like microdosing time travel. Not because it smells particularly dated (unless I really try to see it as a 'women's' fragrance rather than the obvious unisex it is to today's nose), just because it feels comfortingly familiar while also being different from anything I'm actually familiar with. It smells 'young' and unconventional, but established and sensible. Most of all it smells DEEP, like the notes just before they drop out of the register of my ears (well, nose in this case). Resinous and dry, it's not 'patchouli essential oil instead of deoderant' 1970s, but something entirely it's own. I feel like I smell as though I read books with an indifference to genre but a deft instinct for quality. Linear scent, which I don't think is a bad thing. Compared to contemporary perfumes it's almost as though this doesn't have any opening top notes, though you can smell the alcohol when you first apply it and that makes it smell like cherry brandy and amaretto in the air. I did drink a lychee juice whilst wearing this and I think some indie or niche perfumer today could play around with a base similar to Patchouli but overlayed with some sweet lychee and neroli or something. It is still lovely and present but not overpowering at the 7.5 hour mark. In fact, it hadn't really faded since the first hour, so it's similar from the end of the first hour up until about how eight, then fades slightly but still there at 11 hours on skin. I'd be hesitant to put this on clothes as it's a deep red-brown wood colour, and ever so slightly oily.
Edit: Second day wearing patchouli, and I am noticing the vanilla and sandalwood much more than yesterday, possibly because it's warmer today and opening the fragrance up a tad. It's actually addictive. It's a completely non-gourmand amberry vanilla. I think that on a feminine woman this would be read as a 'sexy' scent, but on a man or would read more elegant/classy. It becomes a skin scent eventually after a very long presence with projection dependant on application strength, and it sticks for about 16 hours. Unlike anything else I have tried so far.
