Tom Ford Patchouli Absolu EDP 100ml Unisex Perfume

Typically, I really dislike patchouli, even when used in moderation. However, this scent utilizes patchouli around a series of other notes that bring out a wet earth quality of the patch coupled with a somewhat standard woody base (norlimbanol?).

Either way, this scent is really evocative of a springtime walk through a wet forest. The earth is wet from earlier rains, vegetation is starting to grow back. Your feet dredge through the damp mud and agitate some of the forest floor greens, these smells waft through the cool, crisp forest air.

I’m a bit surprised at how good this fragrance is to be quite honest. For lovers of patchouli and those simply looking for a nice scent with earthy qualities, you might want to give this a try. Patchouli Absolu is a breath of fresh air in a lineup of Tom Ford scents that have been all over the board, ranging from boring to extraordinary…this one falls somewhere in-between. A nice fragrance indeed.
