Les Orientaux: Vanille Patchouli Molinard for women and men

The scent is lovely, not overpowering, caramel just a hint, like an eclair, the ones you chew and has a hit of squishy chocolate in the centre.
On a man this would be inviting indeed, as does not choke you up. The only downside is that it fades too quickly and you have to respray, but overall if you like your soft orientals this could up your alley. Is a very reasonable price, as most molinards fumes are...x

I just purchased a bottle and at first spray, I was like "omg this is nasty" So I patiently waited for something to happen and "it" did. The notes are awesome. I smell the soft vanilla, the spices(kinda like incense) and the beautiful patchouli. I am a patchouli lover and I am not crazy about the dirty, dark, strong patchouli---too masculine! This is nice and I can't wait to see what happens after a few more hours. I can already tell it will have a long staying power.
***I think I will layer this with Kenzo Amour Parfum
and maybe even with my Hpnotic Poison.
**** Update: Seems to have a real calming effect.

****Second and last update: I have used this to layer any and all of the fragrances I have that have a strong patchouli note. This perfume is perfect for that!

Imho, this scent swings more towards the feminine side. Indeed soft, mysterious and a bit musky.

At first I thought the vanilla was a bit too strong but it only was strong for a short while and now it is a soft fragrance which I just love

Perfect, warm scent, a little bit linear on sillage, but a outstanding fragrance!
