Patchouly Profumum Roma for women and men

Not the strongest of the patchouli frags; both a friend and I also sensed a flower- gardenia, perhaps? in the midst and not listed above. Overall, it is well-balanced and reminded me of my art teacher in grade school during the 70's.

I'm rapidly becoming a Profvmvm Roma fanboi :-) .

Wore this today for the first time and really enjoyed it. The opening hits you pretty good - it has that raw patch to it - but as it quiets down the juice gets sweeter and the amber/sandalwood comes through. To my nose, I smell chocolate/cocoa and vanilla in the mid and base notes - though they aren't listed. The incense is awfully minimal here and doesn't seem to last through the drydown.

More unisex IMO than some of the unisex patch's are. Lots of them go too sweet to counter the raw patch (silly rabbits!). I don't get that from this juice.

It hasn't unseated CDG's LUXE Patchouli as my favorite patch, but it's quality stuff IMO.

Ever since 1967, when I was a run-away teenager in the Haight Ashbury trying [and failing] to be a flower child, I have loathed the nasty, oily, musty smell of patchouly exuding from the bodies around me. And I have avidly avoided patchouly ever since.

Or at least I did until I received this amazingly gorgeous Patchouly from Profumum Roma in a grab-bag of samples from the Perfumed Court a few months ago.

THIS patchouly is irresistable! It is rich, deep, intense, complex, with a strong redeeming sweetness that balances out the musty quality.

This is a beautiful scent!

Questo profumo è il migliore profumo che del pachouli abbia odorato

This is the kind of patchouly where if you forget you are wearing it, a decadent waft of dark chocolate rises mischievously to remind you. It goes on a little musty at first, but as the heart emerges, it becomes a deep, woody, chocolate patchouli, which I find slightly more masculine than feminine. This makes it feel a little naughty to me, being that it's just on the cusp of what I think I can get away with wearing. If the incense note was more dominant, I think it would be even better, but that might also make it a little more feminine.

It's great for Autumn, and I certainly want it! It also feels well-crafted. :)

This scent is the best patchouli scent I ever smelled.It is sweet,with notes of chocolate in its base,soft and warm.A wellness scent for cold days.
