Patchouli Antique by Les Néréides $65 for 100 ml or $3 for .7 ml at Lucky Scent which carries 7 Les Nereides fragrances, including body lotion for this scent.
Notes: Indonesian Patchouli, Vanilla, Musk
This is a semi-dry Patchouli. By that, I mean it isn't as dry as some, and it seems to soften into a sweeter patchouli as it dries down, which is likely the vanilla. But it is strong and intense at the first blast.
In general I like the Les Néréides fragrances that I have tried. They settle down nicely, and this is no exception. But I prefer a Patchouli that is wearable on me from the beginning, and as you know if you've been reading my blog, I prefer sweet Patchouli over dry.
While there is vanilla in this, it doesn't make its appearance until about a half hour into the wearing. It is at that point that I begin to enjoy it.
Suitable for a man or a women, do you wear it?
