Ew. I definitely get the baby powder effect, almost with a musty edge. This hardly seems like it should qualify as vanilla at all. Making it personally worse for me is that it smells exactly...

This patchouli fragrance manages to be both bold and earthy as well as soft and very wearable. The vanilla does wonders for it: even those who don't touch patchouli scents should test this one. On...

After my great experience with Imperial Oppoponax, I thought I would love this. Being a huge fan of musks, I also WANTED to love this. But Fleur Poudree de Musc was a huge disappointment. I agree...

Oh, no! Swept away by the comments of everyone on MUA who's used and loved this, and having always liked patchouli, I bought it unsniffed. I don't like it at all, though, and now I have a full...

Saffron, curry, sandalwood, a tiny little hint of vanilla, and just a touch of that peppery goodness others have mentioned. I just wrote my PdN Mahajarah review and this is what I wanted it to be....

Now, this is one that snuck up on me. Opoponax, amber, and sandalwood are prominent on me, with maybe a hint of vanilla. Which would explain why I ordered this unsniffed:) God, I'm guilty of...

I remember how deeply disappointed I was when I first sniffed this fragrance. Based on the reviews, I expected a deep, rich, sophisticated GOURMAND scent, and it is all that except the gourmand...

Wow. Hmmmm. Well, I guess I like patchouli after all. I'm a bit dumbfounded by that, but if this is what patchouli is, or more appropriately, what it should be, then count me in the fanclub. ...

This fragrance made me realize how beautiful opoponax can be, and how much I really like it in a scent. At least, I like it when it's blended like this, into this gorgeous, warm, softly spicy...

This is reasonably priced.It smells too synthetic. It has a funky note mixed with flowers and light musc but it is that odd note that will prevent me from buying another bottle.Something in me...

I adore this scent. Upon first application, the heavy, powdery, almost incense-ish scent of what I assume is opoponax (myrrh) is tempered by a delicious, light orange note on me. I find it sensual,...

I am the furthest thing from a Patch lover. That said, I love this fragrance. It's soft and earthy and calming. There is nothing sharp or "head-shoppy" about it. All who run screaming from...

I love this one. Les Nereides is one of my favorite lines. They somehow managed to take what is, to my nose, still a very earthy patchouli and tame it with a light musk and just a swirl of sweet...

I wish I liked musk scents more. I like scents with musk in them, but rarely (w/ a couple of notable exceptions from SL and FM) scents which are primarily about musk. If I did, this would be a...

I have used this perfume and I loved it very much. Isn't a "modern" fragrance at all and is nice for those who prefer old fashioned sniffs. I will buy again.

I love patchouli. I also have a thing for the "classic" perfume Tabu...I don't wear it, but I keep a little bottle around. Reminds me of the lady next door who used to bathe in the stuff...I...

I know a lot of people avoid patchouli like the plague. Frightening stuff, repulsive, evil. Many patchoulis can indeed be like the wicked witch of the West. Antique Patchouli, however, is...

This is a good springtime scent that begins with a lovely hay note, followed by fresh berries on a bed of sheer musk. The musk overtakes in the ending stage, which I don't mind terribly since I'm a...

Slightly powdery opoponax, amber, benzoin and hint of citrus, is what Impérial Opoponax is for me when I first apply. It’s a bit too much at first, a little sneezy; but after an hour or so, the...

Smells like my husband after he's had dinner at an Indian restaurant. Yummy on him, not so yummy on me.
