I wore my sample vial today and liked it so much I ordered a bottle. I must say that the scent DOES NOT match the name…it should be called an “Evening Out”. In regards to the name and the city in which it supposedly represents, it is not bold or unique enough. New York City is bold, bustling and awake, this scent is not. It is very nice, quiet [almost shy] classy in an understated way. Nightscape is a go-to fragrance, unobtrusive, wearable. When I look for Patchouli, I want it to be dirty and Earthy, this is a dry dusty [yet not old or musty] version; I do detect a metallic coolness to this fragrance, must be the geranium. I would recommend this fragrance.

Sunnyfunny: I think of “bed” perfumes as ones you can put on right out of the shower and that will have evaporated more or less by the time you read a magazine article or chapter of a book. They come in handy…especially as “refreshers” in summer.

jirish: DANGEROUS!!!!!!!! If you must, experiment with TINY batches till you get a fragrance you like (I’m talking DROPS)….

Haunani: it’s better than most if I remember correctly…but still “clean-ish”

I’m another patchouli lover. I always like to have a bottle of the e o around. I used to apply the straight oil, but not any more ! I don’t want to do the olfactory equivalent of smacking someone on the nose. But I’m thinking of getting a patch synergy e o blend, mixing it with vodka and spraying it on whenever I need a patch fix! The blend is orange, patch and geranium. Of course you could blend it with other ones.

Update: I must confess that I sampled this again last night and it was very nice and I got quite a bit of cedar as well. It’s not something I’d buy just because it isn’t to my taste, but I’d sooner that men wear something this than most of the fragrances on offer at the men’s counter.

Wow, the things you learn along the way! So far in 2010 I’ve learned that there are fumes created specifically for bedtime! I’m curious about this one for the novelty, if nothing else! I also enjoyed your “patchouli in its various…erm…forms” list.

Hi Gus. Even though White Patchouli is a pretty cleaned up version of patchouli, I have a bottle and I do like it. It’s got a musky woody, spicy floral thing going on. Nice. Maybe I’ll wear it today…

It’s funny, I grew up during the 60s-70s, the era of patchouli oil, but I couldn’t have identified the note in perfume. Since I wanted to know once and for all what all the fuss was, I took a sniff of some patchouli oil that I found in a natural -products store. My first reaction was, “It smells like dirt!”. My second was, “I like it!”. Now my attitude is, bring on the dirty patchouli.
