Noir Patchouli

Yes, Noir Fleur de Musc. Just like many reviewers mentioned. Let the leather and green patchouli note dissipate for an hour or so then the real theme of Noir Patchouli becomes clear: leather, a hint of sour bergamot, and some ambiguous floral (rose?) notes. The mix of creamy green patchouli and supple leather at the beginning is very intriguing, however I find the dry down unexpectedly musky, and is not something I look for in a patchouli scent. This perfume lasts well though, and I can still smell it 6 hours after clearly on paper. The patchouli note here is very clean. If you usually have trouble with patchouli in perfumes this might work great. But if you're one of the 1) gourmand patchouli, 2) earthy patchouli, or 3) cacao-infused patchouli followers, don't bother.

I smell all of the top five or six notes, including patchouli. On my skin, this is a dirty, musty, neglected attic. A dull choice, why would you reach for it? Performance is average. Like others have noted, nothing noir about this composition. EDIT: wondering if my carded sample is old. People I trust are raving about this perfume.

-This is a really well-done patchouli scent. -Probably the first patchouli fragrance I've come across that doesn't rake the nose. -Dry vibes. Masculine-leaning. -Really well-blended scent. -Musk balances out the patchouli to lend this blend a polished vibe. -It's a rather wearable scent imo. Anyone wanting to exude the image of a neat, polished intellectual should definitely check this out. -Fbw if you fit the wearer profile. (+)

A triple threat of patchouli—featured among the top notes, the heart, and the base notes—in Histoires de Parfum NOIR PATCHOULI makes this a patchouli-lovers-only perfume. Serving to intensify the patchouli madness is a fairly hefty dose of leather, making this a rather hard-hitting composition to my nose. Although the house lists “Bouquet Floral” among the heart notes, I must say that I have difficulty detecting any florals whatsoever, drowned out as they are by the patchouli and the leather. As NOIR PATCHOULI dries down, its noir aspect begins to dominate to the point where I'd classify this more as a leather than an oriental perfume. I would recommend this to hard-core leather lovers, but they obviously must also enjoy patchouli in order to wear this Easy Rider elixir...

I've been testing little sample of this fragrance for few weeks now and I love it. I'm not an expert and I'm definitely not well spoken. To me it smells like green walnuts, olive soap from my childhood, tobacco my grandfather used in his roll ups and autumnal evenings... It's very long lasting and comforting.
