Patchouli 24 Eau de Parfum by Le Labo

A Masterpiece.

without question my favorite scent.

A Dark, brooding, smokey, masculine, sultry, sexy beast of a scent.
100% not for everyone or for all the time.
I only wear it at night. It's my special occasion scent, the one I reserve for restaurants, weddings and date nights.

It sits on my skin for hours and hours and projects perfectly. I've had so many compliments on this. I can't imagine it being worn by a woman. all Le Labo fragrances are billed as unisex but I just don't know how this would work on female skin.

To try in some small way to attempt to describe this - rub a leather jacket with a vanilla pod and soak it in a smokey scotch whiskey then throw it onto the embers of a dying camp fire.
That's about as close as I can get using words.

I fell in love with this at a cold winter wedding in a converted timber yard in Scotland wearing a 3 piece suit, drinking whiskey and smoking cigars. If there's a moment that it suits perfectly then that's it.

Gorgeous. This potion rocks. It's tar, wood, vanilla, leather and patchouli.

Smells like a gothic library used in a vampire story and I love it!

For those of us who are a little jaded with generic white florals, berry/toffee confections and the ouds - this stuff is the antidote!

A meat smoker exploding at a backyard barbecue and all you have to extinguish the flames is Thai iced tea. One of my absolute favorites.

This is a fragrance you really NEED to let it dry down...at leased an hour.

The opening is a punch in the face...it kinda smells like somebody wrapped a ham in a leather jacket soaked in vanilla extract and threw it into a tire fire. Some say a campfire, i don't disagree but this isn't your ordinary campfire smell.

once it sits on the skin for a hour, the burnt rubbery ham smell disappears, the smoke and leather die down a bit and the Patcholli makes its debut appearance.

after about 3 hours the scent is a nice balance of leather, woody, smokey vanilla & Patchouli.

FYI...this juice is dangerous - the projection is crazy strong and offensive in its first hour. i damn near choked out a family of 5 in a elevator.

I like it. Not a friendly fragrance. You won’t smell nice or cozy, but after a while you get used to it. Just like being in love. You just give up and realize your expectations were too high so you settle with an average person. I’m sorry if this review sucks but you shouldn’t expect anything from anyone on the Internet or life actually.
