Comme des Garcons Series Luxe: Patchouli Comme des Garcons for women and men

A terrific patchouli/fenugreek/angelica root composition. If you dislike bold and dark fragrances you should better stay carefully away from Luxe Patchouli as it's very powerful and noticeable. The main element is blended with a strong immortelle note providing the typical burnt sugary quality while a strong resinous and moderately sweet base, adds extra body to this thick earthy composition. Less sweet than Sables but richer than Fareb, Luxe Patchouli is a perfect example of a dark fragrance with a modern twist.

Unisex, intense, long lasting and unique. Another winner from the guys at Comme Des Garcons.

Rating: 8/10

this is a fantastic patchouli. it has a sweetness to it that wafts underneath the strong notes and makes the scent SO inviting. i was quite impressed with it. sillage was good for a while and the longevity has been 'okay'. i think the drydown is rich with what i can only assume is a very high quality sandalwood. at $650 per 100ml this juice is just super-pricey. they're making Creed look cheap and giving Xerjoff a run fo their money! i'd love 45ml of it, but i'm gonna sample every damn patchouli scent on the planet before making that commitment. if you like patch, you owe it to yourself to try this!

This is great; a huge, sticky, spicy, dense, powerful mix of immortelle and patchouli.

However, there's no way in a million years I'm going to cough up the huge amount of dough they're asking for this stuff.

Deep, warm, comforting, pure, a bit sweet, yes, all that. Certainly best in its class. But is it so very different from the one-note patchouli essential oil you can buy from street-vendors (the same ones that sell the bead bracelets) for next to nothing? Mmmm...not really. I will say, though, that the quality is outstanding and a little goes a long, long way. Enormous longevity and sillage.

I would actually call this Luxe: Curry Powder. Nothing distinctively patchouli about it - a strong wood note that seemed more like cedar to me. Very spicy, dry & nose-tickling. I also think it would be better on a man.

I never thought that I loved patchoulies and this one tried only of curriosity - just to know how this plant smells like. I was almost sure that I would hate it.. but..- if that is pure pachouli smell - I love it! For me it is very warm, soft and rich. Maybe on man it could be even better.

This is a great patchouli for those who like their patch old-school style. Very earthy (no "user-friendly patch here) and slightly sweet, it's a must try for patch lovers!
