artisjok Report post Posted December 27, 2019 Vevum is a deep refined woodsy scent, dignified and secretive. It transports me to darkened halls, serious debates in whispered corners, power schemes, and a sharp charming smile that hides the truth. Yet, somehow a sadness, strength, and a fragile hope is revealed. A deeper motive for justice unfolds. A somber bell rings in the distance. The patchouli is the core note, struck through with dry woods and wrapped in the plush velvety darkness of the burgundy tar oudh (must be the same as in Palace of Versailles). The clove is a genius addition, giving an almost juicy tang to the scent. Clove doesn’t often appeal to me, yet here it’s just perfect. The scorched and smoke are not acrid, actually quite subtle on my skin. The scent has strong throw initially, and gradually becomes a close clinging scent that is both elegant and comforting. It never goes powdery or thin. Love! If you’re into patchouli and woods, this is a must have~~~~~ I’m so glad to have received this! Would definitely buy a full bottle, if it wear an option one day.

zankoku_zen Report post Posted January 9, 2020 Deep, patchouli woods and a whiff of clove, tar, and oudh. This is a dark, smoky almost scorched wood scent. If you're into dark woods or patchouli, you have to get this. Good throw and wear length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HerbGirl Report post Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) Honestly? I think this is the best oil I've ever smelled. I truly wish it was available for sale in imp or bottle form. Truly stunning. Polished woods (but not 'mahogany', I guess the teak) and gritty, beautiful, glorious patchouli. There's a lift to it as it dries which I can't describe other than a lift. This is fantastic. Eta: It is the clove. I rarely like clove, ever. It is the airy bit giving the blend that lift. I need more. Edited February 8, 2021 by HerbGirl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casablanca Report post Posted February 11, 2021 This perfume is a love letter to patchouli. Smoky incense wafts off the page, clove plays in the margins, and the love letter's language is weighted with burgundy tar and woods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenesis Report post Posted March 30, 2021 First whiff is a woody patchouli; like the shelves in a hippie shop. Drying down I get much more smoke and clove, with deep patchouli underneath. Nice enough, but I probably wouldn't buy a full bottle of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
