Reply With QuoteI wonder what 'white patchouli' is.
It does sound rather nice though.
Although it sounds like its on the feminine (subjective,i know) side,i wouldn't mind sampling this one.

Cast A Spell--tell us if you sample
LuLu Guinness has released Cast A Spell. If you get a chance to sample this or learn if there is any way to order samples, p-l-e-a-s-e share the news. Thanks. The notes look promising and complex.
From Sephora: Inspired by fairy tales like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, Cast a Spell is infused with a touch of wickedness, and glittery, frosted, enchanted forests, magic love potions, the richness of Baroque art, and the dance between light and dark, coolness and warmth.
Notes: Dark Berries, Frosted Blackberry Pulp, Mulberry, Red Currant, Iced Lavender, Lilac Petals, Davana Blossoms, Black Velvet Fig, Amber, Bourbon, White Patchouli.
Style: Intoxicating. Intriguing. Captivating.

Re: Cast A Spell--tell us if you sample
I ordered a bottle of this the day i saw it on sephora. I couldnt resist the notes and the bottle. I'm not good at describing scents or picking out individual notes but i think i can smell the bourbon in this. This is a good fall/winter scent as it is a little heavy. Good scent for strolling through a dark, snowey forest in Norway. Good scent for the Snow Queen or a powerful wizard.....or maybe even Santa Claus. But not Mrs Claus though, not feminine enough for her. Lulu's other scents have been very girly/feminine smelling. Cast a spell is not. I dont think this is as floral as her other scents have been. Its very dark and foreboding. Maybe a little like Nu???? I have not read anything that says Cast a Spell is for women, although i imagine it is. But if there is a scent in her line that could be worn by a guy, it would be this one.

Re: Cast A Spell--tell us if you sample
My local Sephora had this on the shelves and I sampled yesterday...it is pretty good.
Definitely on the feminine side...soft and berry-like. Once my daughter saw the web description...she said "I WANT THAT ONE"
So maybe for Christmas...it is a very nice smell.

White patchouli: They are probably referring to a light patchouli. There are basically 2 versions of patchouli that perfumers use.Originally Posted by ajmc
Light: this is a clear (amber-colored) easy to pour essential oil, it is sweet, dry and woody.
Dark: this is dark, viscous, really hard to pour, it is less refined than the "white". The odor is sweet, woody-musty and almost sickening, this is also known as "native" i.e. distilled in Asia.
Anyway, I sampled Cast a Spell at Nordstrom's about a week ago. It is lighter than I expected (I expected a heavy scent) especially with all the berries and amber. I am going to have to try it again before I make a final judgement though, because I ended up wearing about 4 different scents.
