Also works as Dortmund Patchouly
For a long time I thought about whether I should write a comment because scents of this kind are rarely my construction site. Nevertheless, like the previous speaker, I know Patchouli only too well; just like him, this has musical reasons, which began in his youth.
Now I really appreciate Lehmann, own four of his perfumes and another dozen as bottlings. Singapore Patchouly seemed to me to be the one that was different from all the others. At first glance or the first olfactory impressions when applying it, it still is.
Enough said, let's get to the scent. This one is indeed very linear and fits in with the other fragrances from Lehmann, which are for example only sandalwood, neroli, lime blossom etc. Lead. The only difference is that Singapore Patchouly is not suitable for layering, which is my subjective opinion.
In any case, after the first application, the scent literally bursts out like a predator that has now been freed and has been put in chains. This is why the prelude is also very intense and its strength is not the same as it will be later, when the symbolic lion has become accustomed to freedom again.
It is very loud and earthy-sweet at the same time, mustiness from old cellars also creeps in. This sweet note is rather heavy, alcoholic in nature, it is sluggish and that makes it more bearable. The longer one stays in this damp cellar or old dungeon, abandoned for ages, the more one is inevitably confronted with an about-turn in the clayey scent. For me, and I don't mean that in a disrespectful way, it smells like used camomile tea bags, but with a spicy note. Since I like to smell chamomile, this is fine for me. The more I think about it, I notice that the fragrance smells more like camomile concentrate, which makes the alcoholic note seem more realistic.
The esteemed Floyd described the maturing of wooden barrels and you can find that again here. Wood which, deep in a vault hewn into the earth, together with its alcoholic content, lasts for years, absorbs the scent of alcohol and releases it irregularly through the pores, becoming darker and darker in the process.
So you can certainly describe the scent well, much more does not happen. With time, the present creation becomes quieter and quieter. We leave the vault, the cellar or the dungeon. It goes up to the daylight and so at some point only a pale memory remains, becomes a premonition (you notice, the scent is still there but it doesn't smell at all
More like really) and disappears.
Patchouly Singapore creates images, creates memories and may not be an olfactory masterpiece, but a fragrance cannot do more than trigger memories and tempt you to linger in these reminiscences. In recognition of this, I would like to recommend the work to anyone who is interested in Patchouli. By the way: in its unexcitedness and its "I won't be disturbed by anyone" attitude, the perfume here again is a typical clay man.
