Reviews of Patchouli 24 (2006)
by Le Labo

Birch tar & leather opening vaguely remiscent of Lonestar Memories, then settles down into the most umm…unique barbecue & bubblegum(Dubble Bubble, precisely) accord. I’ve never smelled anything quite like it and it lasts forever. It’s oddly compelling though not in a pleasant way. I would never want to smell of it.

Salty and smokey leather patchouli buring in a fireplace alongside some vanilla and animalic qualities. Too bizarre though.

Sweet, dark smokiness at the beginning in simply intoxicating. Like Fumerie Turque on steroids. There is also something very saucy in it that brings Shalimar to mind, although the actual smell is totally different. Something quite animalic on this definitely; could there even be a small dash of civet lurking in the backround..?

Smoky, leathery, sweet and rubbery fragrance, which on me looses quite soon (after couple of hours) those intoxicating elements, as it turns very sweet powdery and vanillic scent with a distant smoky accord (bleh). I still like it, though I could never buy me a full bottle because of the price. I simply don`t think there is enough value for the money, especially considering my lack of intrest for the drydown.

Very Menardo like fragrance, btw.
