Arte Profumi (2015)

Almost straight-up patchouli, earthy with green coriander, semi sweet with a touch of floral.
It takes a while to get going - as though the head notes must first be suppressed - and that reminds me of a comment by Black Narcissus.
He would almost prefer a good patchouli oil, he writes, if he didn’t have to wait for the head notes to calm down before he could go out and meet people.
Well, I’m all for going back to the source; my favorite patchouli right now is a blend of two patchoulis and a cedar oil with an off note of burnt-black. Very noir-ish: a bit like this...
