Authentic vintage Patchouli
Thank you to Honoré Payan! Patchouli Original is a beautiful timeless vintage scent with exceptional quality materials. The opening burst of earthy chocolaty patchouli is wonderful and the dry-down is alluring with a powdery nuance. This was my first introduction to the house and I am grateful. Patchouli Original stays true to the name as patchouli remains center stage throughout. The perfume does not have a hippie or head-shop vibe. The longevity and sillage is excellent. Also, I ordered the 100ml Patchouli 1854 which is a different perfume from Honoré Payan. According to the site, Patchouli 1854 is "Our most concentrated patchouli. With this patchouli, we decided to return to the original formula created by Mr. Honoré Payan in 1854.This patchouli is aged in a tank for 2 months. Result a patchouli where the scents are more powerful and more concentrated." I was very pleased with the Original and excited to receive 1854. Patchouli 1854 list for € 45.00 and after the additional € 33.90 for shipping to the United States, the total cost was €78.90 EUR or $94.19 USD. For the price point, it is a must have for patch lovers.
