Real Patchouly Bois 1920 for women and men

Love this potion - although it's hard for me to accept the name sometimes. Most patchouli smells nothing like this - but most people smell young/unaged patchouli and I mean REALLY aged when it achieves that wine-like effect.

This fragrance can come across a good bit more ambery than one might expect too - in the manner of Ambre Sultan. This has a dry, herbal element to it the way that the Lutens juice does. However, it's very, very smooth and very hynotic - delicious, actually. Lighter that one might expect, too.

I agree with all of these reviews. Its amazing!

The largest part of me wants to keep it a secret and wonders why I'm even writing this, but the other part of me says this sent is too beautiful and needs to be honored and praised.
Yes, women can and should wear this. very sophisticated and comforting, this starts out like a new dresser, or wood chips but with a warm citrus burst. Then turns into a yummy pipe tobacco (the kind you want to keep smelling), but stays fresh and lovely.

Very special.

Trying to describe the smell of patchouli to someone who has never smelt it is nigh on impossible. The closest I could get to it is that good patchouli tastes like a mouthful of dirt. And this IS good patchouli.

Beginning rather raspy, deep and throaty, RP is rather masculine due to the dryness and the tobacco, which is very prominent.

About half an hour in, after some ungracious thoughts about the monotony and skeletal nature of it all, a sonic bomb seems to go off and all of a sudden there is a glorious rich warm aftershock. It reminds me of the image (not the smell) of dim libraries filled with old books, warm swirling cognac and horses.

It is a wonderful fragrance and while I can see women rocking this scent, I think this would be glorious on male skin.

While I find it all a bit too much for my personal use, this is my reference samle for patchouli. It truly captures the full breadth of the patch experience.

Real patchouli is sweet and cosy.It is easily wearable even by someone who doesn't like that much the note of dusty and mature patchouli.Spicy,woody and milky balanced really well.

Not like any other patchouli I've ever smelled. This is the Real Patchouly! It's more like magical spiced patchouli liquer aged in exotic wood barrels, decanted only in stealth and by the light of a blue moon. It was so special, I felt I didn't want anyone to know what I was wearing when I tested it. It inspired greed for the scent itself.

Yes, this is for certain real patchouli. The top notes are very aromatic, spicy, hot and kind of raw. The citruses add a bit of freshness.

When the heart notes settles it become smoth and very pleasant. Woody, powdery and some gentle strokes of sweetness. Not at all a hippie kind of patchouli, much to tasteful for that. A pathchouli for confident grown-ups with expensive taste. Like a handcarved wooden box filled with fragrant sachets with strange, unfamiliar but very pleasant herbs. You can sit and sniff in the box such a long time, forgetting about the things that you have to do.

So, it´s a pleasure to test Real Patchouli, what are you waiting for?
