hotboxing in a BMW

The most masculine of the DvN family. A solid-bodied dry, mossy musk with vetiver in spades. There’s cannabis in the mix, especially on first waft, but it soon matures from burning leaf into smooth hemp oil. However, hours later, is stays * just * weedy enough that if I came home smelling like this in high school, I’d have some explaining to do. It’s not offensive, but was probably the DvN scent that jived with me the least.

Longevity: I couldn’t handle any more than 4 hours, though I’m sure it lasts for much longer

Mental Snapshot: You’re a businessman that hotboxed in his BMW three hours prior. When Cecil from accounting asks what you’re wearing you say it’s patchouli. (Cecil wouldn’t know a patchouli if it bit him on the ass). Kurt from marketing knows, though. He gave you an appreciative nod in the elevator.

Tl;dr: four-hundred and twenty, blasé it.

Focusing, fresh, grounding

An uplifting fragrance that pulls your head out of the water when you're about to drown in stress and worries, and then grounds you again. In the top note: herbal sage and a green-woody cedar leaf that adds a needle-like freshness. I sense cannabis as an earthy-fresh hint without the sweetness that makes cannabis unpleasant for me. In the heart note, it becomes rounder and earthier through the patchouli, but still retains its lightness thanks to the sage and conifer note that remain present. For me, it is a slightly darker, more down-to-earth version of Blenheim Bouquet Eau de Toilette: The citrus is missing (I can't detect any bergamot), but this combination of herbs (here sage, there lavender) and needles (here cedar, there pine) is already very comparable in DNA for my nose. In the drydown, I can't detect any vetiver; the fragrance simply becomes fainter over time.
For me, it's a fragrance that could almost be used therapeutically when looking for a way out of the carousel of thoughts or the hamster wheel of everyday life: Focusing, fresh, grounding.

Advent, Advent - Dream of Amsterdam...

... that took away hope.
Cannabis Patchouli by Dries van Noten is the perfect fragrance for those who are not deterred by the following impression:
Karl L. walks through the streets of Amsterdam with a Corona infection. A joint and an eucalyptus/sage candy relieve his symptoms.
The first seconds promise an intoxicating journey: A mix of cannabis and herbal tea awakens hope for a spectacular scent development.
Unfortunately, the whole spectacle departs faster than a quickie.
The fragrance is very short-lived and unfortunately also only very faintly perceptible on my skin.
What a shame... I expected more.

Very dark green patchouli scent with a hint of cannabis as decoration

Green-herbaceous opening, not surprising given the name, though it really starts more in the herb garden than with that well-known sweet cannabis note. Lots of sage, a lot of cedar brush, bergamot only subtly and more just the peel, to give a little green-citrusy lightness, but it ends up leaning more towards resinous associations.

After 15-20 minutes, the spicy-dry patchouli becomes quite strong and pushes itself into the spotlight, cannabis forms around it like tendrils, rather naturally fresh, in the middle of a field, not the sweet result after burning.

For a long time, not much changes, occasionally sage and patchouli switch a bit, then back again, then after 40-60 minutes a very dry, dark vetiver joins in.

Only in the late dry down, 3, 4 hours later, do we have the rather classic, light-fresh vetiver-musk combo as the last remnants.

The DvN seem to be real divisive scents, looking through the reviews of almost all of them, everything is included. I find this one quite okay, a nice green-herbaceous scent, just don't expect that sweet cannabis note, it offers more cannabis fields in dense underbrush.
