Allow me to thank my fellow blogger Sug for sending me Luxe Patchouli along with numerous other goodies recently. I had been meaning to get around to this one and was excited to see it in the sample package. No sooner it hit my skin, I got confused and thought....." Is this Sables"? I had to look at the vial again to make sure. I was immediately hit with Immortelle and the good ole maple syrup note. Either Immortelle is a very dominating note or it's simply implemented in a strong fashion here remains a mystery to me. I make no claims on being intimate with fenugreek, but I do know it's similar in aroma to Immortelle. Both have that syrupy aura bordering on slightly burnt and wispy smoke. As I waited on other notes to make a transitionary appearance, I decided to look up the accords: Pepper, Fenugreek, Lovage, Oak, Opoponax, Patchouli, Cedar, Vanilla, Vetiver. This is what comprises Luxe Patchouli, yet after 30 minutes, I'm still getting nothing but syrup...
