What lasts long will finally be good
White Patchouli is a very special fragrance for me, because through it I found Parfumo in the net.
I had been looking for a patchouli fragrance that wasn't too gothic, and had come across White Patchouli from some supplier, maybe even Ebay. The "White" in the name made me suspect that it was a light patchouli that might meet my wishes, and so I looked to see if I could find out anything more. I googled and there was a platform called Parfumo...
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.
I posted a question about patchouli fragrances in the consulting thread relatively soon, tested some of the recommendations there and found the great Taklamakan. Since White Patchouli, probably by chance, was not recommended to me, he was still out of my mind.
After some time I came back to his side here and remembered that I had thought before that he could be something for me, but I noticed that he had jasmine, even worse, coriander in the pyramid, so I rejected him. A certain kind of jasmine is always good to spoil my scents and coriander green is disgusting in larger quantities, even in food.
After some time I luckily got a sample of White Patchouli.
as an encore in an exchange pack Oha! Yeah, it was definitely jasmine. And, yes, I had guessed correctly, with a bright, very authentic, discreet, light and transparent patchouli, which I liked extraordinarily well. Fortunately the coriander seems to be the seed I like in food, not the green.
So one and a half years ago I posted the following statement here:
"Bergamot, coriander, JASMIN - but no Vernel and hardly any Patchouli.
After weeks of testing, still unclear: "Do I really like that?", but I gave him a rating of 9.
Actually, I should have noticed my own contradiction there already.
It obviously took me a little longer to realize that the short time between the beginning and the fully developed heart note, where the jasmine seems borderline piercing to me, had made me very insecure.
I realized that I had quickly used up the sample and as luck would have it, I got a second one at just the right time so I could test it again and again for a longer time.
Today I believe that it is precisely jasmine that gives White Patchouli the brightness that makes it appear cheerful and light, far from any heavy earthiness. So it's the jasmine that makes the difference that sets White Patchouli apart from so many other patchouli fragrances. The fact that jasmine develops very easily on my skin is ultimately negligible, since in this case the stabbing end luckily disappears very quickly towards the middle of the heart note and gives way to a glistening white-tart and unsweet, cool floridity, which sets the Patchouli dreamlike radiant in scene In the course of time, the fragrance becomes softer and softer. With the base it even gets a tiny hint of sweetness and the patchouli gets a little warmer. The jasmine has now completely lost its sharpness and only contributes its soft, bright light.
White Patchouli lasts the whole day and the next day my clothes smell beguilingly like exactly the bright, cheerful, perfect Patchouli I was looking for back then.
I would like to thank Rebelstar for the bottle that finally adorns my collection.
