Beautiful An elegant patchouli sweetened with musk, amber, and vanilla. This could very well be the ultimate patchouli. Silky, lustrous, intense As often happens when I experience a rich patchouli note, the patchouli morphs into rather a chocolate note. In those fragrances where this chocolafication has happened before, the chocolate note was somewhat hidden in the matrix, but in this fragrance the chocolate interpretation, with help from the ambery vanilla, takes almost complete possession of the patchouli accord. As appetizing as this chocolate is, I would prefer that the fragrance would remain smelling like the rich patchouli accord it was at its inception That was a truly unique and captivating patchouli. But even with the chocolate interpretation, Jalaine Patchoulis elegantly discreet sillage and excellent longevity seals its destiny as a markedly superior fragrance.
