Patchouli Patch L Artisan Parfumeur for women

Slapped in the face with cherry cough syrup for the first 20 seconds. Wow, that was unpleasant. This fades, but the sweet fruitiness remains throughout, the medicinal note does not.

Where are you patchouli? I have heard of rounding the sharp edges off of a scent, but this one has been filed down to nub. I am picking up some florals. Seems fairly feminine to my nose.

If I am going to wear a fragrance with patchouli in the name, I had better smell patchouli. This is not a bad smell, it's just not for me. Grade: C

An intensely earthy, dark, mossy patchouli.

It's very good but I prefer the brighter Etro Patchouly or the more complex Patchouli 24 from Le Labo.

A balanced patchouli,not scratching not even rough.less spicy than Villoresi Patchouli more rounded and less dry than Patchouli noir of Histoires de parfum.
Far from Nasomatto hindu grass,not so sweet.
You are sitting on a mossy wood in a deep shaded fresh forest
Patch is wearables more than other patchouli maybe unisex

well done l'artisan
one of my favorite

Let me start out by saying that I haven't always liked patchouli. It is tricky and I have tried to wear it many times before I found Patchouli Patch but it never worked out. That being said, Patchouli Patch is amazing. It is definitely patchouli but the anise is what adds something special to this fragrance. It mixes with the patchouli so well. It's brilliant! It's not a sillage monster either which can be good for a patchouli fragrance. Those of us who wear it may love it, but there are tons of people around us that can't stand it. Patchouli Patch wears like a second skin and I really like that about it too. It's a perfect summer fragrance when I think it blooms on the skin the best. It's earthy and beautiful. Truly unisex too. Patchouli Patch is one of my favorite fragrances to date.

A very earthy, medicinal, honest patchouli with a strong anise streak running though it. I feel like I have a mouthful of dirt after smelling this.

I don't find this particulary feminine nor sexy but it is compelling, especially for patchouli lovers.

Get out a spade, go out into an Indonesian garden and dig up literally a patch of patchouli, complete with leaves and roots with soil still clinging along, and you will have essentially the opening of L'Artisan Parfumeur PATCHOULI PATCH.

This is deep, earthy patchouli, not the chewy clean kind with the texture of watercress, but the seriously soil-covered kind. In fact, this seems pretty close to dirty hippy patchouli: lightweights had better stay away!

After several minutes of this earthy stage, PATCHOULI PATCH finally evens out to a lighter patchouli drydown. But to wear the drydown, you have get through the opening, which is a true litmus test for patchouli tolerance. No real surprises here: L'Artisan Parfumeur uses literal rather than metaphorical names for most of their creations, and this one is typical: PATCHOULI PATCH you asked for, and PATCHOULI PATCH you'll get!

I find this fragrance to be rather longlasting with relatively big sillage--more than expected from a niche edt.

Sexy on a woman. Not enough power but great ingredients and it smells natural to me.



7,5/10

This is the dirtiest, grittiest, most honest patchouli I've ever worn, and it expressed itself through the softest whisper. The anise and caraway contributed to the grittiness on my skin, but it stayed light and somehow fresh. I LOVED it, felt it was feminine, and had just begun to detect a whiff of iris when the fragrance disappeared completely. I think I need Patchouli Patch Extreme.

Softest and sweetest of patchouli. Not too earthy, though at first it's like I've just been out digging in fresh dirt! I've got Attar Bazaar's which is very resinous and crypt-like, but this one is a lot lighter. In fact, this is the patchouli note that I can smell in TM Angel! Sadly, not longlasting.

PS: For another take on this one, I would not have thought it, but the man said about PP: “Musky and slightly powdery. Very, very nice and sexy.” Hmmmm!
