   Everyone keeps talking about Patchouli Absolu, so I finally gave it a proper test. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Patchouli with Leather, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Patchouli and Leather feel carefully balanced. In cooler weather it sits closer to the skin, which I actually prefer here. Worth sampling before committing to a bottle.

   Picked up a sample of Patchouli Absolu after reading the community buzz (2014). The heart is the best part for me: Patchouli and Leather feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Patchouli with Leather comes forward — smooth and well done. It is not the loudest scent I own, but the balance suits it well. I can see this getting a lot of wear in my collection.

After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Patchouli with Leather, which is where the fragrance really shines. Two sprays are enough — it carries well without shouting. I can see its quality, but it simply is not my style.

   A decant of Patchouli Absolu sat in my box for weeks before I finally wore it. The heart is the best part for me: Patchouli and Leather feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Patchouli with Leather comes forward — smooth and well done. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. Well done — recommended if the notes appeal to you.

   A couple of wears in, Patchouli Absolu has really grown on me. Give it a little time and Patchouli with Leather comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Patchouli with Leather, which is where the fragrance really shines. It projects politely for a couple of hours, then stays close and cosy. Full-bottle worthy without a doubt.

   A friend passed me a decant of Patchouli Absolu (2014) and I wasn’t prepared for it. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Patchouli with Leather, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Patchouli and Leather feel carefully balanced. On my skin the performance is reliable, not a beast but far from weak. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

   For a 2014 release, Patchouli Absolu deserves more attention than it gets. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Patchouli with Leather, which is where the fragrance really shines. Give it a little time and Patchouli with Leather comes forward — smooth and well done. The drydown lingers pleasantly, and I do not need to reapply at lunch. A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.

   Picked up a sample of Patchouli Absolu after reading the community buzz (2014). After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Patchouli with Leather, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Patchouli and Leather feel carefully balanced. Performance is consistent: comfortable sillage and several hours of wear on my skin. This has earned a permanent spot in my rotation.

   A friend passed me a decant of Patchouli Absolu (2014) and I wasn’t prepared for it. The heart is the best part for me: Patchouli and Leather feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Patchouli with Leather comes forward — smooth and well done. It is not the loudest scent I own, but the balance suits it well. This one gets my highest praise — beautiful from start to finish.
