On me this is mostly red musk, sadly don't get as much patchouli, and what I do get is pretty dirty, not as smooth. I would have liked for something more earthy and spicy, but its more high-pitched than I would have liked. Even though I really like jasmine, I can't smell it really here, it just sort of blends into the background as a floral sweetness. Reminds me a bit of Madame Moriarty and Snake Charmer.

I actually get the same vibe as Samarablackcat - it smells sort of like the plum in Our Lady of Pain etc, it has a dark/herbal fruitiness which is sort of random from the notes listed.

I"ll let it age, hoping to get more vetiver and patch with some time.

I LOVE this one!!! As soon as you stick it on, its very strong cypress and pine, grounded in a black patchouli and a mellow tobacco. Its like a forrest of pine trees and chewy patch. I happen to love more unusual, more difficult scents and I love love this one though it could be slightly astringent as the pine and cypress are pretty strong. As it dries down, its all honey-patchouli. I like this phase a lot more than I did Tricksy, which I felt was slightly too sweet and too much honey. This is more of a patchouli drizzled in honey and it doesn't go plastics on me at least. The honey-patch lasts all day, but I have drier skin that tends not to throw very far. On my bf it could fill a room. If you put lotion on first it helps.

Can't stop smelling my arrrrrrrm!! Almost has a eucalyptus vibe, and quite masculine at first. Its a lois and clark kind of smell, with the tobacco and patch being kind of a body smell.

10 pts!

Imaginer!! I snapped up a bottle online, and it just arrived, so its been sitting in the mailbox all day (in like freezing weather) and also I JUST put it on but here goes -

So its very much honey and beeswax on me, with amber and woods underneath. I was hoping for a more patchouli heavy scent as I am a patchouli lover, but theres a lot of honey at first. Its going sliiiiightly plastic on me as honey tends to do, plus theres that myrrh factor - I hate those resiny scents as they also turn powdery on me. It reminds me a lot of Tricksy! I like it but I"ll have to see how it drys down. Fans of woodsy honeys should look into this one!

Squeee! On me this is a perfect blend of patchouli (much like the sumatran red sn) and black coconut. Its slightly creamy and some incense in the back. I am so in love!!! Rawr. After a few minutes, the amber comes out and the golden musk. Its a very dark, sexy, golden type scent. Black gold, you know. People who have trouble with the coconut plasticky situation might find this on the borderline. I find it walks the edge but never strays into plastic territory. I find it to be pretty complex and it morphs a bit. Why must it be so expensivo?!

I LOVE this one. Its so so so fabulous.

Its a super worn, very true brown leather - like wearing an old cowboy jacket. Or like an old saddle.

Amazing.

Its enhanced by the balsam, which blends perfectly into the leather, making it slightly sharper and more interesting. Then the warm spice of the cinnamon swirls around the leather. Its so great. If you love Playful wooden mallets (Hatta is much less cinnamon than mallets) OR CB I hate Perfume's leather note, you will LOVE this.

Are those random refernces? Those are two of my favorite perfumes thats why.

The throw is moderate but the wear is super long and true. It makes me feel very laid-back chic.

TRACK THIS DOWN.

When this single note came up I was crazy excited! The little house I grew up in had these tiny white flowers EVERYWHERE, and I never knew what they were! I would sometimes catch the scent of those nectary little guys while walking around abandoned lots in the East village and always stop to pick some and carry them around. I just loved them. So when I googled the name of the new single note and saw the picture of that little white flower I was like

This is a super fab floral - like others have said, nectary and reminiscent of honey. It has an almost soapy quality that lends the description frothy. I believe it is aging into a deeper and sweeter note than it was when I had it lab-fresh (back then it almost gave me a headache) and now I wear it happily during the day - it reminds me of spending hours running in our backyard attacking my cousin with bunches of alyssum. Its a gorgeous, complex white floral with a hint of green. The longer you wear it the more comforting and lush it becomes.

This would go great with a white sundress and lemonade.

The only patchouli scents I've tried before this were Banshee Beat and Occupy. As tends to be the case, I love the former and not so much the latter. BUT I had to get this sumatran red flavor just to try! I'm so glad I did! Its a beautiful, calming, earthy patchouli. Its not really like either of the two others I"ve tried before - I suppose because it hasn't aged yet it doesn't have the sweet richness of Banshee Beat but it also feels much more grounded than Occupy.

Its almost leathery actually - slightly dry and dusty. Its not the chunky, radiating-off-your-unwashed-crusty-friend type patchouli. Its more like the sort you might expect get off the skin of a really hot Nomadic spice trader... or something like that.

I find it extremely relaxing, in fact I put it on before bed sometimes -- but that may be because I have other associations with the smell of patchouli (not just hot nomadic spice traders I promise).

So i have two bottles already that JUST arrived last week and they smell a little sharp but I tested a decant of this patchouli from weeks ago when it first landed and in the imp it was already much deeper and more smooth, so I anticipate these aging into bombshell type winners!

As its a single note, I've been having so much fun mixing it with other scents I have - I've had the best luck with Rose red and also playful wooden mallets.

I am constantly trying to like, be an old-timey alchemist and mix up Banshee Beat gold from random notes (ONE DAY I WILL DISCOVER THE FORMULA) but mixing this with the Bourbon Vanilla SN did not exactly do the trick hahaha. Soon.....

ANYWAY this comes down in a few days, I would say take the plunge and get it! I don't see how this one could let you down, unless you already dislike patchouli in which case theres no helping you!
