This is the first Montale that I have tried and I am in love. The patchouli in this fragrance is sexy and haunting, which seems so unlike most other patchoulis that I have experienced. The...

Although many of my frags contain patch. Fortunately I never get that "stink" or "hippie" or "dirty" smell that so many use to describe this note (as I would find that offensive). That being said,...

The opening of Patchouli Leave is medicinal, then it smells like dirt, or rather earth. It's the most accurate dirt smell I've smelled, more so than Demeter Dirt. There is mint and of course...

Very true green patchouli. I mean green, moist, wet soil. Like the real leaves of patchouli fermentating in an oak barrel. This frag is a quality one, yet, not the easiest to wear... It reminds...

Patchouli is my favorite note but when I first tried it I was surprised. I thought this would be a sharp, "dirt like" patchouli smell of the wet ground and forest (like the one in Aromatics elixir...

Notes: patchouli, vanilla, amber, musk and french labdanum. This fragrance opens with a patchouli note enveloped by amber and a touch of vanilla. The accord is warm, sweet and salty at the same...

A rich heady patchouli with a nice earthy base--not sweet at all to my nose, just nice and dirty. Fragrantica says the notes are patchouli, vanilla, amber, musk and french labdanum. Frankly it...

If I only was a patchouli type of a person... but don't get me wrong, I do appreciate well-blended, nicely done patchouli. I purchased a bottle of this along with Sweet Oriental Dream (my fave) as...

I would love this if it didn't have patchouli in it. The undertones are rich, deep, smooth and edible, and aside from a nice woody aspect, the patchouli has just too much of that hippie-oil scent...

Woodstock in a bottle. Both the muddy Woodstock of '99, and the hippie one of '69. At first it starts out extremely soil-ly like you just dug out of your own grave and are now covered in fresh...

Finally found a patchouli based scent that works with my skin chemistry. Didn't think I would ever encounter one because all prior tests gave me a raging headache or made me crinkle my nose....

I ordered a sample of this because I usually like patchouli. Wow. This is not your average patchouli. There's something green & sharp in here that did NOT mesh well with my skin chemistry....

This is really gorgeous. Usually I detest ANYTHING patchouli, but Montale has taken what I usually think of as rootbeer and dirt and turned it into a creamy smooth, subtle, sweet mystery. This...

Other reviewers have written splendid reviews of this. It is not quite sweet enough for me personally. A little too much earth.

This is an earthy and dirty patchouli with a boozy opening and a rich resinous dry down with a hint of amber. Montale's Patchouli Leaves is very unisex, but not after-shave-y on my skin. I think...

I love it and still I will give it "only" 4 lippies. Because it is greatly boozy at first and awesme in the dry-down but there is this "in-the-middle" phase that I don't enjoy. So it's like:...
