Hello,
I've been reading and researching here for months and I want to say this is one of the best sites, in general, on the world wide web. I do not yet have an educated nose and extensive fragrance vocabulary, but share a passion with you all for fragrance.
I am an unrepentant patchouli lover. I like it from hippie head shop to a thread in a heady oriental tapestry.
Sometimes I'll smell a fragrance on a passing woman that is clearly patch, but also black pepper, a hint of citrus at the top, pine and moss, a little vanilla or praline.
Like Opium meets Aromatics Elixir meets (vintage) Givenchy Gentleman but for women. It's deeply oriental and exotic. And it's not Angel, it's more of a dirty-earthy smell.
I'd love to know from the well-immersed, here, if this sounds anything like a scent that you know of.
If not, I'd appreciate any good patchouli-redolent fragrance recommendations -- apart from Angel.
I want something that is like uncorking the spice trade.
Thanks in advance!
Jillita
