I'm trying to smell like patchouli!

My only issue is that some scents can give me a headache. Usually it's very florally scents that do not work for me. I can handle gourmand scents quite well. Thank you!

I'm trying to smell like patchouli!

@740p, Patchouli by Reminiscence is a French fragrance that was released in the early '70s and is still being manufactured today.

 

Top Notes: Patchouli, Vetiver, Virginia cedarwood.

Heart Notes: Labdanum, Sandalwood.

Base Notes: Bourbon vanilla, Tolu balsam, Tonka bean, White musk.

 

The patchouli in here is strong. Due to the vanilla and tonka, this is a gourmand fragrance.

 

This fragrance is very, very sexy.

Re: I'm trying to smell like patchouli!

@740p, you might have to test a few fragrances to find something that doesn't irritate you. The classic gourmand patchouli is Angel. It's sometimes described as a fruitcouli. Other patchouli forward scents that come to mind are

 

  • Chanel's Coromandel which has an oriental base
  • Serge Luten's Borneo 1834 which is a smoky cacao take
  • Diptyque's Tempo which has been compared to Coromandel, quite nice
  • 7 Virtues' Patchouli Citrus which is a "clean" brand, not at all gourmand

thank you!

thank you!
