Patchouly EDP by Yellowstone Parfums ( AKA Orange Patchoulias )

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

Newport by Caswell Massey

By
Bergamot, Mandarin, Lemon, Lavender, Geranium, Muguet, Rose, Ambergris, Cedar, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Musk. After wearing Newport by Caswell Massey a few times and then reading what others had to say about this recent formulation, I found some of the opinions harsh. I have no way to compare it to the heralded vintage formula, nor can I use memory as I've never tried the original. Enter the current version. I do agree with some reviews that this rendition does not bring about the sense of beach and salt, but there's a long line of fragrances that fail to represent their depictions. However, Newport isn't so far off the mark that it's a complete misrepresentation. I can imagine wearing Newport ( or something similar ) in a beach setting. It smells classic due to the way Citrus, Lavender and Geranium are implemented. It's assuredly retro, but it seems to have that intangible I like that keeps me sniffing. Newport, at least on my skin, is top heavy in the sens...

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...

Lanvin L'Homme

By shamu1
Lord knows the world has enough fresh woody citrus fragrances.  It's a hackneyed genre of masculine perfume, having been done to death by countless designer firms cranking these things out since the 1990s, and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight.  Lanvin L'Homme, released in 1997, is one of the early woody citrus releases, but it (along with Essenza di Zegna) stands out because it's one of the best.  That may sound like it's not saying much, but Lanvin L'Homme really is excellent. I won't get into a long treatise about all of the notes contained in this and how they evolve.  Lanvin L'Homme is sparkling, spicy, woody, transparent and dry.  What I love about this scent is how brilliantly it uses vetiver - the vetiver gives Lanvin L'Homme a woody, dry and somewhat bitter smell, but it also manages to create an effect of sustaining the citrus top notes for several hours.  This results in a fragrance that smells fresh and cheerful from beginning ...
