White Patchouli (for women)

veuve

My opinion up front: this is awful.
An intensely sweet and syrupy patchouli, so much that it instantly nauseates me. I love patchouli when it focuses on the slightly damp and smoky-earthy aspects, but this is liquid patchouli candy. The addition of florals only serves to enhance the sickly sweetness, and it's only after maybe an hour that it's down to tolerable levels.
I find no sophistication in this scent, I'm sorry to say. If you like Angel, I suppose you would like this, too.

I'm glad I bought a tiny sample of this one instead of a big bottle. The name is very misleading, in my opinion. I love the old-fashioned stinky hippie patchouli scent, and I can't detect a drop of it in here.

I read on another website that they used a special "cleaned-up" version of patchouli for this scent, which contained fewer of the patchouli's usual dark, smoky notes. I love those dark smoky notes! Tom Ford White Patchouli smells like a spicy floral and not much more. Didn't last more than a couple hours on my skin, either.

If you're looking for a nice peony scent, try this one!

If you're looking for a nice blend that features the mystery and earthiness of patchouli in a unique way, this one is not it. Keep searching.

what is wrong with these people??? I dont smell rose or flowers...i smell spicy, warm scent...something like nutmeg. Strong, oriental, spicy, warmish....

yesterday, i've tryed it on me, at first,it smelled like sweaty clothes, really penetrant and sertainly not like a rose, but after an hour or so, it turned into a very unique and lush parfume, i think, i might buy it, but first, i have to test it one more time, i don't wanna smell like dirty sport clothes;-)))

It has a lot of white peony, which at times I really enjoy, but other times can smell very chemically. While over all I like this scent and would blame any issue on my own body chemistry, I really advocate trying this one with a clear pallet and really give it... an hour! It changes a lot in that first hour and it's hard to get a solid read. My boyfriend smelt it on me and got the worst headache.

today i sprayed Black Orchid and i realised i definitely like it much more than white patchouli!! of cource that doesn't retract the value of White Patchouli!

White Patchouli is a remarkable perfume and very unique! A little strange, you can't actually guess what notes are behind it.. the only thing i don't like about it, is that it could probably be a men's perfume as well.

I love Black Orchid, so I think of myself as a Tom Ford fan. I love Patchouli. So, I looked forward, with great interest, to White Patchouli. Sadly... not for me.
The rose is dominant in a perfume I would call a floral. The patchouli is right there, but it's a polite, perfumers patchouli. It's got a wine-like quality. I like my patchouli dark and almost mentholated.

On me, this smelled like rose scented nail-polish remover. Your mileage may vary.

Retro-Metro is how I would describe this Ford fragrance. The unity of white flowers and white patchouli create both the sleek urban sophistication of today's uber chic city life and the patchouli allusive to yesteryear's generation, create the mellow mood of tranquility. I cannot locate the scent of the peony but I do smell a hint of rose but it is quickly taken over by the white flowers. The white patchouli starts off with a bang, but with patience and with the ingression of the ambrette seed it then simmers to a surprisingly mild dry down. My final analysis, an elegant high-end scent.

I rushed today at Shefora to try White PAtchouli.In fact i am smelling it on my wrist right now.First i would like to say that i am not a floral lover and also that my first encounter with Tom Ford's fragrances was a failure since i cannot stand Black Orchird.So even if i was a little bit afraid i tried White Patchouli on.At first sniff it is a little bit loud.I detect mostly the rose than the patchouli.Fortunately the strong smell of florals calms down pretty quick and the composition becomes wery creamy and lush.Spicy florals blended with woods and the a touch of ambrer(must be the ambrette seed)to balance abd calm down the sweetness.It is creamy and warm all the way to the drydown.The lasting power is very good.As a conclusion White Patchouli is a wery clean and incredidly chich fragrance as opposed to the skunky Blach Orchird.It has a subtle sexiness rather than a to your face one(as its prcedor BO).I am very impressed and find it pretty unique.Certainly stands out as opposed to all the "smell alike"mainstream fragrances.For me it is a heartbreaker..

It is very elegant, bright white patchouli. For some reasons it reminds me a white chocolate. Not the casual one but gourmand white chocolate with tiny bits of vanilla in it. Not overly sweet just enough tasty to have your mouth full water. I thought it is going to be alike to Purple Patchouli from The Private Blend collection but I was wrong.

As more I try it, as more I like it. The lasting power is very good. It lasts on me for 6-8 hours.

This is really beautiful, and I'm not usually a white floral kind of girl. I find the patchouli is, actually, pretty restrained, and this comes off as a spicy white floral with a slightly sweet drydown. Sophisiticated and chic.

I really liked this scent. It does smell heavily of patchouli however it is light enough for everyday wear. I love the idea of patchouli mixed with light notes of floral, a perfect match!

Aeternitas

The smell is fairly literal - smells like white patchouli! It's a little strange. I figured because it contains patchouli it would be a little warm or heavy, but is actually kind of fresh because of the peony and bergamot. It has been launched for the fall/winter, but I'd rather wear this in warm weather. I haven't smelled anything like this!
