White Patchouli by Tom Ford Eau De Parfum For Women 100ml

Product Information

White Patchouli is without a doubt one of the best Patchouli fragrances that I have encountered on the market. It smells Rich, Bold, Sexy and quite unisex to my nose. Some people say it smells very feminine, but I think that its bold enough to be worn by both Men and Women.

To me this is very clean and earthy, it's nice but doesn't have enough of the qualities I usually gravitate towards in a scent for me to want to buy a bottle and smell like this. It's sophisticated and very luscious,also easy to wear and versatile at the same time.longevity and sillage are both impressive.I didn't douse myself in it as I usually tend to do so with other perfumes and still I find it's projection satisfying

Just make sure to not overspray,give it enough time to settle down and don't wear it in hot summer days I did a very light 1-spray on my arm to test (I was wearing something else on my body) so I may change my opinion when worn properly on my body. And it's a rainy 60-degree summer day in Upper Michigan if that has anything to do with it. I'm not getting a great deal of creamy, powdery, floral, spicy or sweet notes, it just smells botanic and fresh. Here patchouli is paired with white florals and spices,and I find the whole composition kind of wiered,I find bergamot and peony fresh here but there is also something heavy and old,something like dead florals or something rotten..it's also sweet with a hint of strange sourness,maybe it's not doing well with my chemistry..I also find it feminine and masculine the same time,sexy and without any sexuality the same time and modern and old fashioned the same time If only Tom Ford White Patchouli upheld the promise of its opening accord, I would have been ready to give it 5 stars. It opens up on such a sultry accord of spices and amber with patchouli’s chocolate bitterness perceptible underneath; it is difficult not to fall under its spell. Yet, after an opulent prelude, the composition veers into the barren territory of sharp woods and pale musks. Perhaps this suggests that I prefer my patchouli in the darker registers, full of its earthy, pungent facets.

I never ever thought of that someday I'd say that I'm happy that I didn't give away my bottle of white patchouli,although it's not a full 3.4 oz bottle anymore thanks to the decants of it I gave away in past months,but still I have more than half of it's precious juice saved in the bottle and I know that I'm gonna use it with joy.I hope that dear hubby can change his idea about it too because anyway I'm gonna wear itIt stung my nostrils and the first time made me almost gag, so strong it was (and mind you, I am not afraid of huge florals, that I frequently wear, let me name Quelques Fleurs, Joy, Jardins de Bagatelle, all very prominent). Then add the fact that I swoon over Coromandel (=very prominent, sharp patchouli) and then, somebody reviewed it as clean, sexy, very Prada like - a once upon a time staple in my collection (Prada Amber: patchouli & amber based).
