Yeast dough
Patchouli - a classic in the world of fragrances and a controversial note at the same time. The reason for this is the range of different qualities that can be found - similar to vetiver. One often reads terms like earthy, green, woody, herbaceous, musty, musty or chocolaty. So the question arises how Andy Tauer, who is known for his sometimes unusual creations, staged patchouli here.
The top note could be thought to be 'fruity chouli', because for me, the first few minutes of the fragrance are almost like a liqueur and fruity sweetness. But it's not really typical for this genre, like Fields of Rubus by Kerosene, because the fruity component settles rather quickly, leaving more room for the rose to unfold. The patchouli here is pleasantly warm and earthy and not dirty. I only perceive leathery and resinous facets very discreetly. Unfortunately, after a while patch flash increasingly reminds me of the smell of dough - or more precisely, of yeast dough rather than cookie dough. For the latter I miss the spices, which I search in vain here. Also the association with chocolate doesn't seem to fit me at all, because I can't recognize any gourmand hints.
As always with Andy Tauer, Patch Flash is well made, but I didn't like the scent. For me, Coromandel (EdT) is still the measure of all things when it comes to patchouli, and also much brighter and more complex. Although Patch Flash doesn't seem particularly loud to me, you should use it sparingly, as the notes are already pretty tightly interwoven and could become a little exhausting over time.
