THESCENTOLOGY

A perfect example of how a classy and refined patchouli scent should smell   Virile, with a twist. For the man who wears a pinstripe suit with ease and self-assurance, whose highly sophisticated virility is tinged with artistic flair, and whose ruthless pursuit of seduction is somewhat of an aesthetic endeavor. Read More This perfume reveals the style behind impeccable appearance: patchouli is the pinstripe suit, with a cocktail of rum absolute and mandarin in hand, for a distinct flavor of late nights in dark corners; as cedar, suede and incense are the underlying sensual pulse, warmed by vanilla in a small acknowledgment of intimacy. For the polished womanizer. NOTES Mandarin, rum absolute, patchouli, cedar, suede, incense. REVIEW A modern classic that highlights the warm, woody and earthy facets of a luscious and camphorous patchouli combining it with precious incense and a kinda orange liquor vibe provided by tangerine balmed in rum.

Worn like a couture winter coat  An enveloping warmth. First and foremost a creative response to designer Dries Van Noten’s Flemish roots. Read More Belgium’s stark winter call for domestic warmth, while its history, as one of the great stages for the trade of precious raw materials, calls for a rich amalgam of textures and motifs: tea by the fire, speculoos biscuits and Indian spices inspired this comforting blend of milky sandalwood, vanilla, saffron, and sacrasol, for a lasting effect of exotic, buttery warmth.  NOTES Bergamot, saffron, sandalwood, vanilla, sacrasol, white musk.

The patchouli, spices (especially saffron) and precious musks reinforc...

  A piece of cult of the modern perfumery SAVAGE SEX APPEAL Musc Ravageur enhances the magnetic aspect of musk with amber, vanilla, patchouli and sandalwood, at the total exclusion of floral notes. Read More Having caused a scandal when the perfume first appeared in 2000, Musc Ravageur is now celebrated in all its sensuousness as the Sistine Chapel of the Amber Oriental tradition. An unapologetically sexy perfume. REVIEW A slightly animalic musk surrounded by a spicy veil and balmed in the most precious resins paired with an intoxicating fluffy warm vanilla base. The honeyed amber and the velvety haze of cinnamon alongside the cloves plays a major role on my skin as well but this definitely is a dictionary definition of a niche carnal, slightly animalic and yet creamy musk without musk as per the creator, Maurice Roucel states. A piece of cult of the modern perfumery. Un almizcle ligeramente animálico rodeado de un velo de espe...

This is the type of creation that makes me love this hobby Word of honor. In the Middle East, a promise made between two people is accompanied by the strictest honor code. Read More Frédéric Malle celebrates this principle with a promise of his own, whose beating heart is made of two precious varieties of rose: rose essence from Bulgaria and rose absolute from Turkey are lifted by apple, pink pepper and clove, and bound to a sensuous base of patchouli, cypriol and labdanum; an accord as unbreakable, and invisible, as a vow. To trust and be trusted. NOTES Pink Pepper, Rosemary Oil, Apple Accord, Bulgarian Rose Oil, Turkish Rose Absolute, Clove Oil, Patchouli Heart, Amboroxan, Labdanum, Cypriol Heart, Castoreum.
