Dear Pep, Great video intrigued by Patchouli Antique a house that I have got experience with l am afraid. Patchouli is a probably one of my favourite notes. My favourite Jovoy Psychedelique. Thanks a million
There are many different Patchouli oils from many regions of rhe world. And they are all so different from slight differences to vast differences. Some smell dark, earthy and dirty and some can smell like fruity chocolate. And you are correct. It is one of the most extensively used oils in Perfuming. It is a base note classed as a woody earth note, even though Patchouli is a leaf. And it is a fixative so it anchors down the more volatile oils. The clean Patchouli you describe could be the reconstituted oil called Clearwood. It has all the dirtiness, leathery earthy nuances removed so you are left with a clean, softer more forgiving material that blends really well with musks and woods as it is a woody ambery note. It even acts as a blender between mid and base notes. Another is Limbwood Base. A woody amber note with strong nuances of Patchouli and very diffusive. Alot nicer than the neat oil. Patchouli happens to be my least favourite oil. To me it smells very medicinal like some kind of woody herbal medicine. BUT it does remarkable things in a formula and impossible to avoid using it sometimes. I believe the longer the Patchouli has aged, the more beautiful it becomes. A bit like aged Mysore Sandalwood..I havent personally smelled a good aged Patchouli but I hear its heavenly. Not one of my favourite materials but certainly a must have in a Perfumers scent library.
Love your video. If you are in a patchouli face i recommend the following: Meleg Vienna patchouli Aaron Terence Hughes patchouli noir Gallagher behold patchouli My top three at the moment
Great video. Glad to hear you talk about the Jovoys like you say they do patchouli so well- did you ever end up buying Private Label? It’s gorgeous- I always feel really bold when I wear it! ☺️
Patchouli from Nobile 1942 is also my favorite so far, with Patchouli Noir from Il Profumo a not-far-off second. I've had FM Monsieur and sold it, because I didn't want to be hit over the head with a highly-synthetic based patch strongarm fragrance. I can see why folks love the Jovoy's but find them a bit over-saturated if one likes that style. I agree with you entirely that the Patchouli from Nobile 1942 is perfectly blended, ultra-refined, smooth and elegant, and the patchouli has little to no trace of the dirty and rough-edged aspects, while also seamlessly integrating just the right amount of warmed-congac booziness to elevate and give all the components a beautiful richness and background amber hue that offsets the restrained dry, slightly green vegetal accords. I got my Patchouli from Nobile earlier this summer and can't wait for fall and winter to wear it more often. Great that you included it here in your review, as the Nobile Patchouli is highly overlooked and underratted.
Yes, please to more of these style videos. I would be interested in vetiver and sandalwood, however, I am happy to listen to and view whatever you send out into the void💜
Great explanation and list of patchouli scents. My favourite, where it's a main player would be Battaniye by Pekji. It's an amber fragrance with patchouli and some honeysuckle that makes it an extremely cozy and elegant smell. Since earthy, soil heavy fragrances are my favourite, patchouli tends to be a significant part of those accords in them. Some that come to mind are: the original Zoologist Bat, Fathom V by Beaufort London and Chypre Mousse by Oriza L. Legrand. All earthy and with patchouli but extremely different.
Good video. As for Jovoy, I get a huge vetiver from Incident diplomatique, more than patchouli.. It's Psychedelique that's the patchouli bomb. Great stuff. It's funny because I didn't used to like the smell of patchouli at all, when I got into fragrances. It took a few years but it changed. I remember how Sebastian was talking about this in one of his videos.. and he said something like If you're a true fumehead, one day you'll wake up and you'll love the smell of patchouli. 🙂
I enjoyed your overview of patchouli, Pep. I always thought I didn't like patchouli until one day I realized that so many of my favorite fragrances had patchouli in them. Would love to sniff some of the Jovoy fragrances. Cheers!
I have tested some that you mentioned (Sticky Fingers, Noir Patchouli and Patchouli Nobile) and have a few more. I like Chypre style and have Chypre 21 by Heeley and Une Rose Chyprée by Tauer Perfumes that both contain patchouli, Murmur by Pigmentarium also has it and so does my favorité Nobile 1942 Malia, the only niche fragrance I have that I would call feminine. But the one that seems closest to Patchouli essential oil in a 80ties rocker style is Patch Flash by Tauerville.
Interesting-I’ve always loved patchouli, but in the past month, I’ve wanted to add more patchouli to my patchouli collection. I want some hippie patchouli perfumes at the moment.
The Scentinel Noir Patchouli for sure and Borneo 1834. Actually, my sotd is Borneo with a spray of Noir patchouli on the back of my hand. I’m in patchouli heaven. I honestly don’t think I need more patchouli perfumes. I also have a little patchouli essential oil on at the moment. Lol
The Scentinel i need a new mode now but ive been so deep into perfumes that my essential oils sit on the shelf and i just smell them sometimes. I had had it mixed into a shampoo with Castile soap, though it didn’t clean the hair super well so I only used it every other time. Hair smelled great though!! And it has some properties that are good for the skin/scalp
Nice video as always Pep! Just starting to explore Patchouli myself having always thought it was a note I didn’t like much. I’m particularly interested in both the Jovoy fragrances you mention.
Hello mate. I received a bottle of reminiscence patchouli today and wow !!! Have you tried this ?? I had heard a few rumblings and was looking to get a new winter staple in my collection alongside my favourites (Dior homme parfum, Dior eau sauvage 2012, Gucci guilty absolute and vintage LIDGE) This has gone straight in at number 1. I have always been after Chanel coromandel but no longer , this is very similar and exactly the kind of earthy wet patchouli that I adore. I urge you to try it if you haven’t already. Hope you’re keeping well. All the best mate. Paul.
I used to call them, those who over wore patch, The Patchouli People. In some regards , it was a way to identify or locate/draw those of similar interest. I always thought that they must have become immune to the patchouli itself, thus over spraying . With the dirty hippy's , I don't think they could afford better blends, thus the $2 patchouli oil. The Patchouli People along with the Dirty Hippy's both wore beads boutiques cheap patch oil. How do I know this, well I bought a small vial of it once, and it gave me a headache along with the people around me. About two years ago , I wore i Profumi di Firenze Patchouly Rosso . My friend said I smell like a bag of wet mulch that you put in the garden. I said, yes, " that's the vibe you're supposed to get " . He then said _WHY !_ I never bought a bottle. It was overpowering and , on me lasted forever. It reminds me of Lorenzo Villoresi's Patchouli. Lorenzo's is that damp basement type for the first hour or so. I like Von Eusersdorff Patchouli more . There's like a dry seeds and steams to it in the opening. There's a nice patch by Al Haramain called Arabian Treasure. I got compliments wearing it. Il Profvmo has a nice patchouli with soft edges to it. I don't really care for much else from that house though. Patchouli Leaves from Montale has avery nice fall appeal to it. Then it goes into a sugar bomb. Still haven't upgraded to a full bottle of Nobile 1942's Patchouli, but the 19ml will do. I really like that one. I haven't even opened up Profumum's bottle of Patchouli , nor the bottle of Ambre Aura from them. I have a good number of patchouli's that I love. I would like to recommend *Areej le dore's Grandenia* . If you get a chance to sample it , please do. Wonderful patchouli dry down. I'll be getting a partial of that. BTW, Pep, I can still smell Ambre Fetchie on my skin from yesterday. I didn't spray a lot. Now, has there been a dumb down of AF from when I got this 5ml decant ? I hope not. Wonderful wonderful wonderful. Jez I love this stuff. On the hunt my friend . I would like more single not exploration uploads if possible.
I love Psychedelique and it's one of those where i know one day i'll get a bottle. I tried the Profumum once, so my memory is sketchy but it left a good impression. Not sure it is good enough or better for the extra money
@@TheScentinel yep, near 100€ difference with nobile or jovoy, btw sold all bianchi, bored from them, my top was 1. Lovers tale, sticky fingers (I start love patch)) and sex and sea neroli, it’s like narcotic, now i love amber kisso from d&s drugs, it’s more depth than bianchi lovers tale
My favourite patchouli is noir de noir by Tom Ford I'd love to try patchouli antique, I have sampled Jovoy psychadelique but not my thing I have the histoire de parfums with patchouli which I like but not the one you mentioned
Monsieur, Frederic Malle. It is perfect.
I need to re-test
Very unique video on ingredient - yes would definitely love to hear more about other notes 😘
I'll see what i can come up with
Great review. I'd love to see more single note episodes
I'll try
I agree!

As an aside, your hair looks fab with a bit of length.

Love ur patches....
Psychedelique - Jovoy (Dark)
Patchouli - Profumum Roma (Cozy)

Chypre Mousse has been on my to-try list for a long time
I love Nouveau Genre YVES ROCHER and Une Amourette Etat libre d'orange.
I’m wearing Nishane B-612 now, which has a lovely patchouli note. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it, as well as Misfit by Arquiste.
I gave wanted to try Misfit for a long time

Also my favorite patch is just an essential oil. Sometimes mixed with a citrus and lavender 🍃
How do you use it?

Did you get Sticky Fingers?

Patchouli Molecular Distilled is the material you are describe. Fresh, not dirty Patchouli.
Mon patchouli by ramon monegal
I thought your favorite was Nicolai Patchouli Intense...
It is one of my favourites, but it isn't dominated by patchouli. The name is misleading, just like Le Labo Patchouli 24
Growing up patchouli was always a hippy smell. And now it is very different. I wonder why.
I had similar associations, but i think it changed when i smelled it mixed with other things
It's you getting old 😀
