Dior Privé Patchouli Imperial

Photo is not mine

I am so lucky to have secured a bottle of this beauty that is unfortunately going to be discontinued soon.

The name says it all, this is a a boss mode patchouli yet, so elegant and refined. The citruses in the opening are bright and sparkly. Some citrus combinations smell masculine to me, specially in a Patchouli dominant fragrance, but not in this one. I consider this completely unisex. There is a hint of cinnamon and a touch of rose, but by no means this is floral or rosy.

Patchouli is present from the beginning, but is to die for in the dry down. This is earthy patchouli but not dirty or stinky, or too medicinal. Because of the accompanying notes, including rose,benzoin, touch of vanilla and tonka, it smells elegant and refined!

I am so sad to see this go from the collection but at least I have a 250 ml that will last me a life time and half I think!
