PG08 Intrigant Pachouli Parfumerie Generale for women and men

Wow, people, you NEED TO EXPERIENCE this Scent. This is the most wonderfull, deep, soft, tempting, seducing Patchouli I have ever sniffed. This goes straight to top of my purchase list. No 1. and ASAP. Huge good. Love from the first sniff ***<3<3<3***

This is a very cute and sweetened musky patchouli akin to L'Air de Rien, but with a persistent 'sherbet' element and with an even shorter lived drydown. Rather than spending the money on Parfumerie Generale, I would try 1000 kisses deep by Gorilla Perfumes which is eminently cheaper and very similar!!

Fragrance Notes:

Middle
Patchouli, Sandalwood, Civet, Castoreum

Base
Amber, Musk, Benzoin, Honey, Vanille

A great (great) fragrance. IP opens with a blast of patchouli and a considerable dose of animalic notes of rare charme. Castoreum and Civet are perfectly blended to other ingredients to never be overwhelming, and are used to add extra depth to this master composition. Then pathcouli, musk and amber start to play together to create an incredibly comfortable yet intriguing and misterious drydown. Patchouli is a very crowded territory but this interpretation is a total stand out. Bold but not pompous. Traditionally modern. Simply Sublime.

I used to think that Parfumerie Generale was offering too many inconsistent fragrances but I had to change my mind. It looks like I'm learning to love Pierre Guillame, his subtle "special touch", his ability to create fragrances that are sophisticated and refined but never too affected. His enviable sense of elegance.

Rating: 8/10

A very nice patchouli that's deep and sensual but also very linear in my nose. I can only detect the patchouli and sometime later, the amber too. No change from top to bottom, it just gets softer the longer it stays on skin. Good to have if you're a patchouli lover, excellent lasting power, good sillage but too unintriguing for me.

Secondo me il patchouly non è predominante ma è un'ombra che aleggia su una creazione perfetta! Quando lo sento rimango come ipnotizzata da questo melange incredibile.

Just amazing. It works perfectly with my chemistry. Smells like Nag Champa incense with an added dose of patchouli. Becomes soft in the dry-down. I am in love!

A must, must must try for every patchouli lover. And also for every patchouli hater. This is patchouli at it´s very best. It is soft, lingering, powdery and first of all I tought it was a little bit boring. Shame on me, I was so wrong. This is like slow burn on my skin and it took a while to figuring that out.

Lovely, gorgeus masterpiece. I love it! After a while the patchouli lingers of to musky, animalic terrain and I sure follows. Softspoken, sensual, magnetic, rich, elegant and yet so steamin hot sexy.

If you think you don´t like patchouli, still you MUST try this! It will seduce you with it´s softness making you belive thera actaully is a good girl clean kind of patchouli, and when you feel all safe and pretty, it strikes with it´s full power and make you surrender to it´s glorious power!

And well, do you allready like or even love patchouli in perfume? Well, this one will make you go crazy, you will realise after a while (it take a while, this IS Intrigant Patchouli) you must definitly want a big bottle of this godess in perfume form.

Another one from Parfumerie General jumpin in to my big bottle list, with ease...

well, in my opinion, it's very feminine. i don't plan on wearing this. the drydown is rich but not overwhelming, a pleasant aroma;predominantly vanilla, amber, and a hint of ginger.i don't smell the patchouli or sandalwood at all but that's me.overall a warm, delightful,and sweet perfume.

Yet another perfect creation by PG's genius "Nose" Pierre Guillaume. It has been perfectly named too- Intrigant is French for - Intriguing ... And an Intriguing Patchouli is exactly what this scent is.
The handling of the patchouli is such that I believe it will be a perfect scent for both those that love patchouli and those that usually avoid it. As it's more of a "Patchouli-Light" or "Diet-Patchouli" fragrance (yet still enough of it!). The patchouli here is not the awfully "heady" 60's head-shop stuff. Not at all, it is elegant and totally captivating. The notes which, as if made for each other, are just beautifully blended.
They are: Patchouli (obviously!), Ginger, Citrus, Ceylon Cinnamon, Mysore Sandalwood, Amber, Musk, Benzoin, Honey, Vanilla and an "Animalic Accord".
It is one of those scents that start good and then just ... get better... and better ... and even better with it's amazing dry-down.
It opens with Bergamot/Citrus and Ginger tinged already with the spicy cinnamon and honey of it's heart. Then ends on a delicious ambery-musky-benzoin-vanilla goodness sitting on a bed of the most delicious sandalwood. The patchouli in the drydown picks up an interesting animalic quality that makes it most unusual.
An elegant, exotic, captivating scent that is truly unisex, and that you are sure to enjoy more and more each time you wear it. ... Just Sublime !
