Potent and sensual patchouli is of core essence to the house of Dior since the beginning of the New Look revolution from 1947.
Full of elegance, composition Patchouli Imperial created by perfumer Francois Demachy is a celebration of this legendary oriental ingredient with sophisticated ingredients of this newly created composition. Patchouli is the central note – ingredient with among herbal notes offers the stronger animalistic effect. This is refined reveal, unprecedented elegance. La Collection Couturier Parfumeur Patchouli Imperial was launched in 2011.

Very smart, elegant high quality Pachouli fragrance (without the old skool dirty earthy Hippie stereotype).
This works well as an office/ corporate smell if you dare to show some current-uptodate sophistication and a bit more daring personality without offending too much.
(just a little pushing the envelope, lol)
Very linear indeed, well there are only 3 ingredients:
Patchouli, Coriander and Sandalwood.
I love Sandalwood but it can be sometimes too dominant and prefer it for winter scents (Egoiste, Musc Ravageur, Joop!, etc..)
However, here the use of Sandalwood is moderate, just to add depth and a warm, balmy dimension to the green chypre dominance.
A very nice modern Patchouli with linear quality projection and development into a softer, warmer, woody dry dowm.
One of the Top 5 of this exclusive range.
smells of amber more then anything else
Wore this last night and was quite impressed. Found it to be rather linear, which was nice. The coriander on top really "classes" the patch up. The sandalwood has a nice sweetness to it. The word 'elegant' kept coming to mind. The patch here is not neutered, but it is balanced by the other notes. Going to wear it again and just might try to track a flacon down...
UPDATE: flacon tracked down :-) . i'm generally partial to filthy, dirty, hippie patchoulis, and this is a really classy alternative for when i want patch, but want to be refined. if you love patch, definitely try this out.
You should find it in main Dior own boutiques - usually located in selected areas but also in heathrow or CGD airports
where to buy this perfume? can't find it anywhere even in dior website
A high-end patchouli fragrance. The scent is strong and loud, I should say. Patchouli here is very prominent and natural, it is surrounded by typical of Dior exclusive fragrances noble woody notes. If you like patchouli, try this perfume, it's a classic!
