What are YOUR favourite patchoulis?

Givenchy Gentleman and Dior Dioressence 

"Patchouli | Réminiscence" is a lovely, Patchouli based fragrance of which some say that it is a good Patch 'for reference', but I'm not sure if I agree on that. Maybe "Patchouli Blanc | Réminiscence" comes more close to 'natural patchouli'. Both are very budget friendly nowadays.

When I was a child, Patchouli was very much in fashion (think hippies, 'make love not war' and all that - Oh those were the days !) and that Patchouli smelled different than many Patchouli based perfumes of today. The more earthy, dark and gothic vibes in Patchouli based perfumes often come from other notes with which it is blended. For reference, to find out what Patchouli as a note smells like, you may try a Patchouli-oil from shops that sell the 'more natural' oils maybe.

"Patchouli | Réminiscence" is certainly unisex, earthy, a bit dark and gothic, but is also more 'perfume-y' and even more vintage than the sixties and seventies to my nose (and thus I like it more than just 'plain' Patchouli).

Hope this helps

My favorite is Patchouli Intense by De Nicolai. Just modern perfumerie perfection that lasts over 24hrs

Angel Eau de Parfum

Bornéo 1834

i love patchouli with cacao.

I am not fond of patchouli but I do like Lord of Misrule Body Spray. Amazing longevity as well.

I love patchouli and am eager to share my faves but how do I tag perfumes in here? Thanks ☺️ 

# + name of the perfume 

"Cuirs Nomades - African Leather (Eau de Parfum) | Memo Paris"

I LOVE me some patchouli. I love the way it's sweet, woody and dirty all at once. It reminds me a lot of dark chocolate, especially those with a high cacao percentage.

With that in mind, I love anything that highlights those qualities. Angel Eau de Parfum is an absolute classic, as is Tempo . I'm also a big fan of L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme Eau de Toilette - that chocolate-patchouli accord is to die for.

I prefer my patchouli to be gourmand—sweet is nice but not required:

L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme Eau de Parfum, Pleasures Delight, Oui Plus!, Black Orchid Voile de Fleur, La Vie est Belle L'Eau de Parfum, I Love New York for Holidays, Shalimar Parfum Initial and so on.

Chanel Coromandel

Profumum Roma Patchouly

My favorite is "Patchouli Intense / Patchouli Homme (Eau de Parfum) | Parfums de Nicolaï" . One of the positives is that it lacks that hippie patchouli vibe.

"Patchouli Intense / Patchouli Homme (Eau de Parfum) | Parfums de Nicolaï"

Van Cleef & Arpels  Moonlight Patchouli is a great Choice in my Opinion

Coromandel Eau de Toilette by Chanel

Coromandel Eau de Parfum by Chanel

Héritage Eau de Toilette by Guerlain

I adore Nuits de Noho Eau de Parfum A little goes a very long way and the scent lingers long after I walk out of a room.

How about Pardon Extrait de Parfum For me it's like a niche version of L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme Eau de Parfum
