The only patch-focus fragrance I like is Montale's Patchouli Leaves, and I have a sneaking suspicion that it must mean it isn't a very good patchouli scent, LOL...

I can’t explain it. I don’t get that much patchouli out of it. I recently decided that I needed something with patchouli as a focal note; I have always thought of it as was something I liked. I got a bunch of samples and spent an afternoon in Barney’s Basement trying a variety of patchouli’s before finally realizing that I don’t really like patchouli either. At least not as a primary focus. The amber can be really over the top at times, and I usually really don’t like anything too sweet, but in this strange case I am really into it. I can’t explain it.

Avignon is probably the least "wearable" of those 3, but still, I adore it. Oliban isn't to my taste at all -- too sweet and heavy. It has lots of amber & patchouli -- my least favorite notes, so I'm not saying it is a bad scent, just not me. I love Kyoto too (and agree it is more mysterious) and Ouarzazate.

Strangely I think of it as too sweet and maybe either not dark or not complex enough. I like wearing it on a hot day when I am going to be outside in the sun, can’t really explain that. Out of the incense series, I really love Kyoto, seems much darker and mysterious to me. It is my daily staple. That’s not really why I am writing, I know you haven’t reviewed it but wondering if you have tried my current obsession Keiko Mecheri, Oliban. Really sexy and complex incense with a heady carbonated smoke opening and not particularly dark either. I am curious to hear your take on it, so if you haven’t tried it, please do.

I also love the Tilleuls au Vent room spray from L'Artisan, and if you really get over your aversion, you must try the Diptyque John Galliano -- great stuff! It is lovely.

I love Avignon, but it intimidates me. When I wear it I feel that I am in a presence of something holier than my humble self and that I am not worthy :-D Sounds wonderful!
