Patchouli

Min favorit parfym

I like it.

I've been looking high and low for a patchouli fragrance that compares with the (now sadly discontinued) Patchouli Absolu. I was seeking a patchouli-dominant fragrance. I detest loud floral scents, and I did not want something that was gourmand. I was hunting for a loud, pure (or at least as close as you can get) patchouli scent with richness and depth. I don't agree with the review that this fragrance is chemical; I would concede that the opening notes are a bit astringent, the dry down is smooth patchouli. My only complaint is that it's a eau de cologne rather than an eau de parfum; I would happy pay more for something with greater longevity. But - having said that, I will be back to purchase this again (the patchouli soap is also marvelous).

Est-ce le même patchouli ?

J'achète ce patchouli depuis des années en provenance de l'officine Santa Maria Novella. Cette fois ci j'ai commandé le petit flacon de 50ml pour le glisser dans mon sac. Je constate cependant avec surprise que le parfum qui se dégage du flacon n'est pas le même que celui auquel je suis habituée. C'est à dire celui du flacon de 100ml. D'où mon interrogation est ce le même ??? Cordialement
