Patchouli Esteban for women

Incense and patchouli … almost always a winning combination! That’s the first thing I smell when I apply this. Gradually, as the scent develops, I start smelling the labdanum and woods along with a sweet, clear, almost fruity note.

The fruity, woody patchouli lasts for a few hours, after which it dies down to an unusual candy-like scent. The sillage is moderate, as is the longevity. Esteban has been a big surprise for me. I have loved every one of their perfumes that I’ve tried, and Patchouli goes on that ever-expanding list.

Hello friends!
I first smelled this perfume on a woman that I was dating. This smell was like persecuting me, I fell in love with it. Very soon the lady made me the present of Patchouli. Now I`m putting it all over me all the time, but I stop to feel it almost immediately. That`s a pity because I love it, I really want to smell it on me, but no way, I don`t feel it...
The smell is gorgeous and distinguished.

I'm not cool with patchouli when it dominates, so I wasn't expecting much from something called "Patchouli", but I love challenges.
The opening is heavy "in your face", sexy and dark patchouli followed by a light "breeze" of what I thought - lemon - but as I can see it's not listed. I was enjoying the marvelous opening actually as it reminded me of one of my loves - Etro by Ambra.
The problem appeared when the heart part hit in, rose is delightful, really - cold, majestic and very sexy, but I have a problem with iris&violet combo, it's somehow metallic and powdery together and on my skin it doesn't smell good.

If it wouldn't be for the heart I would be in love.

I'm so glad I bought it. It's marvelous and magic. Patchouli sounds really great and not irritating even on my pale skin. It's even strange that this EDT lasts all day long. In my opinion it's one of the most sexy perfumes.

You asked for patchouli, and Esteban PATCHOULI delivers! This is a big, voluptuous, va-voom patchouli fragrance with huge sillage and fantastic staying power. In fact, it's all so outspoken that I probably would not wear this in a public setting...

Here are the notes according to the house's website:

Lead notes: black pepper, pink peppercorns
Heart notes: white rose, iris, violet leaves
Base notes: patchouli, labdanum

The pepper is quite light, thankfully, and patchouli really is the star of the show. Not too dark, but not quite clean, and not at all sweet, this is a floralized patchouli with lots of depth and big billowy presence. Recommended for all and only patchouli fanatics!
