Patchoulissime Keiko Mecheri for women

This has the Goldie Locks thing going. When applied and first sniffed, it's much too harsh. When let to air and given an occasional inhale, its much too dirty. But when forgot about and detected wafting about your person, it is just right...

I like patchouli/rose combos; after sandalwood/rose this is my favorite combination. (My recent finds include Heeley's Hippie Rose, Tocca's Cleopatra, and Dorin's Une Rose). Here we get a Benzoin boost, which is probably the air beneath the fragrant halo I'm liking. This is a very feminine, sophisticated scent. I'd say its a 'thinking girls' fragrance, and I see it on someone who takes more care in presenting themselves. Benzoin has that affect, I think.

In short, a very lovely scent.

Smells a lil like givenchy l'intense

I have never been a fan of a big patchouli note in perfumes, but recently, I've been finding that I have been appreciating many more patchouli-dominant scents.

And I have to say, I'm actually very appreciative of the patchouli in this. It's a very earthy composition, that never gets dirty. It's actually quite sweet and none of the notes are too sharp.

The biggest blast of pure patchouli comes in the first spray, but afterwards, this note becomes more subtle.

The benzoin and rose conspire together to blunt any potential harshness from the slightly fruity patchouli.

I find the dry down gets a little sweeter, but never too sweet, and it's a dry sweetness and not a sugary or syrupy one. It's a great combination with the faint citrus note in the background that lingers.

On my skin, Patchoulissime is a slightly sweeter and less rosy version of JHAG's Lady Vengeance.

I've found that Keiko Mecheri rarely misses the mark, which is why KM is one of my very favorite houses. And if you like patchouli, then chances are you will like this.

Patchoulissime is a skin scent that lasts 4-5 hours on me.

I think that this is a must-try for any patchouli lovers.

The "-isimme" indicates a light and lively interpretation of the patchouly-rose combo, and that is precisely what has been achieved with this fragrance. Notes that could indicate a heavy scent are used here in a delicate way. Dry and woody patchouli, airy light rose, benzoin for a little creamy sweetness, citruses adds juicy freshness. This scent is a beautifully balanced harmony of the four notes mentioned. Light sillage, moderately close to the skin, good longetivity.

What's really nice about Keiko Mecheri PATCHOULISSIME is that despite its heavy patchouli note, the composition as a whole also has enough sophistication and is well-mannered enough to be able to wear in public. This is a really beautiful creation, with rose and benzoin mingling harmonically with the patchouli, which I do not find excessively oily and dirty as in the hippie-genre perfumes that come quite close to neat patchouli oil (and raise questions in inquiring minds such as: why would I pay triple digit dollars for a bottle of this, when I can reach for patchouli essential oil instead?)...

The benzoin note here adds a rich texture, in addition to imparting the slightest bit of sweetness, while the rose manages to tame the wild patchouli without asserting itself too loudly as an independent note. (I would not characterize this as a rose perfume...) PATCHOULISSIME has pretty big sillage initially, but becomes more subtle as it dries down, and the longevity is very good. All in all, this is a finely crafted perfume which should be sniffed by every amateur of oriental perfumes, men and women alike.

patchouli e rosa
divino!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After the initial patchouli blast, this settles down to become a mellow sensation. All of the notes are crafted to perfection. Though this is marketed to women, this one is a sleeper for the debonaire man.
