One of the nicest patchoulis I've smelt

Patchouli Paris by GuerlainGuerlainPatchouli Paris4.024 ratings

Musty, earthy, a little basement-leaning, but done in such a smooth, sexy way. Aldehydes make the opening sparkle, powdery iris gives it a beautiful softness, and the vanilla-ambergris base finishes things off like an airy, velvety lotion. It has that chocolatey thing going on, and to my nose, it's a pastel-lilac chocolate, if such a thing could exist. The sort of scent that makes you want to curl up with Sherlock Holmes and sip an Earl Grey. Coincidence? I think not. Night night, folks🌙📖☕️

    Ooooh I’m intrigued! I’m not a big patchouli fan, but I’m trying to give it more of a chance lately! Adding this to my To Try list

      The opening might frighten you - it's pretty forward with the musty facets - but it never feels as dank as something like Psychedelique, and quickly softens into a sweet, powdery, iris-infused balm. Lovely. Do let me know if you try it 😊
