Patchouli in Modern
The brand Christian Richard in connection with the Cologne perfumery "Perfume History" I have already introduced in the review of Storia d'Amore. This Eau de Parfum from the series has even made it into my modest collection. Decisive was not only patchouli as a hanger, but this as a truly modern version.
That is, although I appreciate patchouli in almost all variants very much, it is here rather restrained and framed between floral notes such as especially jasmine, some violet, a few lily of the valley as well as minimal rose plus heliotrope and thus a completely different way of unfolding.
In between, I hear a good scoop of saffron and woody notes. The whole creation, however, seems relatively contemporary, which could possibly be due to the fact that Ambroxan could have gotten into it. It's not officially stated, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was incorporated. Accordingly, it gives Patchouli Intenso a mysterious as well as modern touch, which almost makes it an all-rounder for all seasons and all situations. Serious, seductive, calming and at the same time striking without being exaggerated or annoying. Finally, there is neat projection, yet Patchouli Intenso remains rather quite restrained.
I'm currently considering whether it might also be a touch synthetic. If so, then but rather in a positive sense, because it gives the fragrance the interesting drive.
As for the bottle, it is along with the massive lid satiated in the hand and fascinates with a minimal outer curvature of the sides. Perhaps not exactly a design innovation, but still anything but ordinary.
Patchouli Intenso is thus for me a rather unusual patchouli fragrance that does not digress too much from the main theme, but is definitely to be perceived as a modern interpretation. Let's see if others are aware of it.
