White Patchouli by Tom Ford Eau De Parfum For Women 100ml

Product Information

I tested at the same time as 2 other patch heavy scents so perhaps because I loved them so much it made me perceive this as inferior. And it isn't bad at all, I just don't like it, which confuses me somewhat! This is not the case of Tom Ford´s White Patchouli, a house whose export line redeems the, sometimes dissapointing, always aspirational, Private Blend line. White Patchouli, from the export line, has an outstanding lasting power and is a different approach to this classic material. Thinking what could smell alike this strange but well thought start, i can say it reminds me to the rare beauty of Aromatics Elixir, being all over White Patchouli cleaner, lighter and less complex with a very different performance as we will see. For some reason this makes me imagine sterile white futuristic film sets of the 80s, with the same music at the start of Stranger Things, I don't know why, i just get a real 80s/ futuristic film vibe . And in my minds eye, the colours of this scent are silver, off white , mossy green and gold. I usually like patchouli when it's blended with vanilla or woody notes or anything which make it smell chocolatey but patchouli isn't woody,dry or chocolatey here.it's fleshy but I love how it grounds florals adding a minty undertone.not a cold toothpaste-like mint,it's warm and it adds elegance and a sexy vibe to pure feminity of white flowers,peony and rose

Opening part is very loud and harsh for me but when it calms down,I can wear it and tolerate it but I can't like itThis is wried after a few time, this scent reminds me another 2 fragrance I own from the same house, POTL & Superstition frederic malle.

I was registered with Parfumo. It was so interesting here that I scrolled from fragrance to fragrance, let myself in, lost sight of White Patchouli and first wrote about my existing fragrances comments. that is, or may reasonably be considered to be submitted in extreme volumes and as such be deemed as ‘spam’; White Patchouli is without a doubt one of the best Patchouli fragrances that I have encountered on the market. It smells Rich, Bold, Sexy and quite unisex to my nose. Some people say it smells very feminine, but I think that its bold enough to be worn by both Men and Women.

I think one of the main reasons I love this fragrance is the fact that it is just blended so well, the notes are not competing for my attention, they've just closed into one another and formed a very strong and well put together scent. There are moments where the Patchouli shouts out for attention, but its quite tame and almost muted in this fragrance. Its not in your face and its not obnoxious in the way it is with fragrances like Angel and Tom Ford's Purple Patchouli (which irritates the life out of me). This fragrance has an intensive opening friends and co workers describe as an amazing floral wash. Mostly I get a patchouli bomb and that's fine by me. Silage is moderate to strong depending on how much is applied. You're in control of the wheel here babe. Longevity you ask? This one`s an all-nighter. Sniff you in the morning. Let me start that this is NOT what I expected it to be. Because in WP the patchouli has very little to do with real patchouli. It is, on the contrary, a white floral monster! It is very very huge on the peony, rose and other white flowers - not mentioned but i am sure there is plenty of Magnolia, a note that I do not particularly favour - i do not even detect the initial bergamot opening (as written in the notes).

I'm not getting a great deal of creamy, powdery, floral, spicy or sweet notes, it just smells botanic and fresh. Hail to the mighty ambrette seed, sexual fluidity and open defiance. Shout out to the girl working in a mans world and killing it. To the elegant gentleman that dares to wear this,yea I'm talking to you pal, you've stolen my heart. Although White Patchouli is a modern bright woods composition with a few of hints of oriental resins and spices, it is related to classical patchouli rich fragrances like Jean Couturier Coriandre and its more recent incarnation, Agent Provocateur. It only takes a delicate touch of patchouli to transform a pretty floral into a seductive blossom, and if the quantity is increased even more, the result is heady and striking. In the opening accords of White Patchouli, this aspect is presented beautifully. The patchouli begins to shimmer right under the sweet orange and coriander. As the rose notes begin to reveal their soft, honeyed warmth, the woody darkness of patchouli lends them a rich, velvety character. Smoky incense plays up the exotic aura of White Patchouli, leading one to expect a smoldering drydown.

Yes,there is a but here.a huge but...but drydown which doesn't force me wait for a long time,is something I happen to love now!it smells heavenly and I find it one of the most artistically done patchouli scents I have ever had pleasure of smelling It stung my nostrils and the first time made me almost gag, so strong it was (and mind you, I am not afraid of huge florals, that I frequently wear, let me name Quelques Fleurs, Joy, Jardins de Bagatelle, all very prominent). It's sophisticated and very luscious,also easy to wear and versatile at the same time.longevity and sillage are both impressive.I didn't douse myself in it as I usually tend to do so with other perfumes and still I find it's projection satisfying

To be honest I don't hate it but there's something in it that I can't get along with..patchouli is not my fav but I usually like it,specially when it's paired with rose and spices

White patchouli is a year round fragrance,better for mild weather since it can be overwhelming in heat None of the flowers try to show up as patchouli doesn't insist on making this all about itself,they're all in a perfect harmony As soon as I sprayed it,I could see why I disliked it,that very sharp opening of bergamot and coriander,while fleshy patchouli and floral sharpness was easy to detect through it.still I'm not fond of the opening part and it smells somehow like cheap-smelling handmade perfume oils which were popular in past where I live,but... I usually love the fragrances that stand between the edge of modern and classic but here I don't see these paradoxes good,it feels like it's cheating her personality,I also can't get the point why WHITE patouli,on me it's more of a brown patchouli Blind Buy Report: If you're looking for anything remotely resembling dark brown earthy patchouli : look elsewhere. TOM FORD may have been playing abstract artist here but White Patchouli is LOVELY nonetheless. It's very sweet with a hint of sharpness and a tiny dash of spice. Nothing overwhelms or will poke out to annoy anybody. I'm feeling like this should have been called "Amber Patchouli" because it's got a warmth to the base notes.
