Very helpful Review 7  
Summer of Sixty-Just Fine
The number 4 of Pauline R is again (like the "1") a patchouli scent. This time, however, a little darker and more oriental. Mh.

"Le Quatrième Parfum" is one of those fragrances that gets lost in the shuffle. Whether in its own fragrance collection or all over the retail shelf. And with him quite often certainly its wearer. It goes in the direction of a "Bois D'Argent", only not quite as lasting and memorable. And late, of course. Creamy, soft, perfect blend, a delicate haze and hint of honey and of course well patch. Not earthy here, but already with shadier nuances. Probably due to myrrh and unabashed vanilla. No pudding scent - but goes in the direction. Neither Paris nor Dubai. But not Best of Both Worlds either. Good, but quickly forgotten. A but scent.

Flacon: goes one rather unnoticed it past...
Sillage: skin-tight not - but close to it
Durability: slightly longer than its lighter brother - 8 hours.

Verdict: a hippie pie horse - patchouli & smooth. Feet asleep with dessert vibes. The sheik who listens to Bon Jovi

First crystal sugary-candied green-resinous patchouli, slightly peppery, gourmand, becomes lighter, subtler, brighter, drier, powdery, a bit soapy. I like it.

A honey pot surrounded by light smoky mist.
Cocoa where resin has thickened.
Very sweet and sticky.
A bit too intense for me.

Powdery tobacco leaf with sweet tonka, spiced with a bit of patchouli, flambéed with rum and garnished with plum - I like it.

Starts off beautifully spicy-resinous, sparkling with honey and delicate smoke. Unfortunately, it then turns into cheap stale flavored pipe tobacco.

Smoldering honey, very, very sweet, develops into a boring, overpowering vanilla gourmand base.
