While great part of new-brand niche houses do their best to have at least one patchouli-optimizing fragrance in their collection, Tom Ford seems to deal ace of spades, with a tarty patchouli covered with thick spice makeup.

It's a super sweet patchouli core enveloped by oozy white jasmine, coriander-coated rose and fungus-like incense. White Patchouli is a floral, creamy, vibrant patchouli. While many women adore it, some hate it strongly and it partially comes from very potent play of syrupy sweetness on skin.

Leather registers for opulence, rose does for sensuality, and a precise dose of earthiness and powder can bring this notes to a magnificent intimacy that evokes extreme passion, naughty fetish, and posh identity. This crush of beauty and sexiness is Kelly Calèche. Juicy rose, dusty, powdery, bitter, rebel, soft leathery like skin itself.

You want a rose without emphasizing on rosy side? A tobacco-like patchouli with pronounced spice and sandalwood? A naughty nocturnal floral yet casual warm oriental stuff? Coco Noir is the nearest answer. A perfume made like Swiss knife.

Coco Noir is a massive sandalwood merely dedicated to feminine world. A touch of spice-coated sandalwood and rose bring it more wearability and identity. Great stuff, though not so Chanel-like.
3/5

The opening is coarse leather, displaying both akin to Tuscan Leather's darkness, and its own leathery characteristics. A simple touch of violet and cardamom in the beginning gives it a grease-smeared olfactory statement that tones down in a half way suede half way leather side, with warm earthy floral aspect, and a promise of fruity notes that never materialize.

Never materialize, yet the whole performance goes to a curvy femininity in dry down, using masculine ingredients. If it's compared to TL, it is rigid, spicy, fruitless and bitter version of TL. Kind of uncertain on luxury and ordinary. It also lurks between two genders without tending to both or either.

By far the best of Amouage IMHO? This is like Keith Haring paints Caravaggio; a serious perfume made by an artistic mind and jovial ingredients that proclaims cutest fruity notes mingled with bewitching frankincense and lavish ambrosial dry down. It's enticing, friendly, sexy, divine and dedicated to pleasure. Let me exceed my limits and say it's like an orgy in heaven! Everybody's invited!
