Patchouly EDP by Yellowstone Parfums ( AKA Orange Patchoulias )

Image
By


Dark Patchouli, Woods, Citrus, Amber, Labdanum, Vanilla Bean, Musk, Incense, Castoreum.

I'm a self avowed sucker for Patchouli. I pretty much like them all and the ones I presently own and no longer have consisted of varying interpretations of the note. I admit to finding redeeming qualities in basically all of them.

Yellowstone Patchouly is no exception. There's a noticeable Orange note in the opening salvo and even beyond. I like this combination. This particular citrus note is married to the Patchouli and I find it well integrated. For the first 5 minutes or so, it's all about a smooth Patchouli infused with orange. After the 5 minute mark, I can begin to smell the mild resin and Vanilla making their appearance. This is not loud or boisterous. Even the opening volley has manners. I say that thinking of Bois 1920 Real Patchouly, who barnstorms the wearer with their opening accord. Make no mistake, I still own Real Patchouly and actually like it more now than when I bought it years ago. It just so happens that it's in-your-face, at least for the top notes. Yellowstone Patchouly is more even keeled and the patchouli note itself is different.

As far as the musk and castoreum are concerned, they only offer subtle support in this accord structure. I do detect a light-hearted smoke and it's tuned just right. It's unobtrusive and lends just enough to accent the main players of Patch, Citrus, Vanilla Bean and a resinous undertone. 20 minutes in and beyond, Patchouly has become warmer from the onset of the Labdanum and Vanilla, yet the orange is still going stride for stride with the Patchouli note. The more I smell this, the more I like it and from what I perceive, this is genderless. The Musk integrates itself, on my skin, around 30 minutes in and is transparent.


It seems to keep the main players going, yet I only get periodic whiffs of it. These are not notes I'm accustomed to seeing in a Patchouli accord structure, but it works rather well. What I truly like is that the Labdanum and Vanilla Bean stay in their lane the entire time the Patchouli is strutting its stuff. It's not until the dry down, at least on me, that they outlast the Orange Patchoulias.

Thumbs up from Aromi for Yellowstone's Patchouly. As I always do, I recommend a sample wear for every fragrance I review. I perceive if a person likes Patchouli, they'll like this. It is, after all, a love it or hate it note.

    I can't find this "Yellowstone Parfums" or either of the perfumes you reviewed yesterday or today anywhere on the Internet. Nor are they listed on Basenotes or Fragrantica. Do they have a website you can provide? (I'm searching from the U.S., in english) Thank you.

    It's a mystery. I still find nothing. The only perfumes that come up in the search are by Caswell Massey. Is it possible that Yellowstone blocks the site in the US? ..... Anyway, Best Regards and thank you. I always enjoy your posts.

    Thanks ! The site works perfectly for me. Just google yellowstoneparfums with no space in between and you'll see a niche perfume link come up.

    Thank you... I finally "forced" Google to show me the correct search results. Google has changed the way they prioritize search results to the point that you sometimes can't word searches to get information you KNOW is online. Yellowstone will be getting an order now thanks to you. Best Regards

Oriental Lounge by The Different Company

By
Bergamot, Curry Leaf, Pepper, Red Rose, Tonka Bean, Labdanum, Satinwood. I suppose the first thing I noticed about Oriental Lounge is that as a man, this is a bit of a stretch to pull off. Since the core of Oriental Lounge is a powdery tonka and amber duo, it really does lean a bit too far feminine for me to wear. However, it would smell just as lovely on a woman and more appropriate as well. I bring this up simply because it's marketed as shared. I was wondering about the curry leaf. Actually, this "note" brought nothing to the table with the exception of possibly enhancing the pepper note just a bit. Even so, the pepper note itself was low key ( at least on me ) and both blended nicely with the citrus opening. From the onset of Oriental Lounge, it's unmistakable that this fragrance is.......well.....an oriental. From other opinions, I read some gripes about longevity, but it lasts on me quite awhile. This fragrance is uncomplicated and without much movemen...

Black Suede by Avon

By
Nutmeg, Clove, Amber, Musk, Moss, Wood Notes. Yes.........I am reviewing one of the Rodney Dangerfield's of fragrance. Black Suede has been gracing medicine cabinets, for better or worse, since 1980 my friends. If you're expecting me to inform you ( like others may have already ) that Black Suede is a nasty scrubber, you will be disappointed. On the other hand, if you're expecting a glowing review claiming it's a diamond in the rough, you won't hear that from me either. I will say though that Black Suede doesn't deserve the hate it's received and most of that is due to snobbery aimed at Avon products in general. I kid you not when I state that a close relative to this fragrance is Cacharel Pour L'Homme. The array of spice in both ensure comparison, but the "smoother" of the two is Black Suede due to its implementation of Amber. While wearing Black Suede, one can detect a hint of "drugstore". That quality doesn't manife...

Paco Rabanne Pour Homme

By
I am reviewing the original Paco Rabanne Pour Homme ( circa 1973 ) thanks to a generous basenoter who sent it to me recently in a swap. He also sent me the current formulation in order for me to do a side by side comparison. The side by side resulted in what I had already imagined would be the case. Not that the newer formula is terrible by any means. The original version simply is better by being deeper and a bit more masculine. No......you shouldn't go to ebay searching for the vintage formula and paying stupid prices. It's simply a notch or two better than the current and noticeable by comparing the two in real time. Rabanne Pour Homme opens with a slight shimmer in conjunction with lavender, spices and a subtle woodiness. It's an old school introduction, however a good one. The lavender takes about 5 minutes to raise its volume and evolve into a soapy rendition. I dislike when a boatload of soapy lavender takes over a composition, but here it doesn't go over t...
