Patchouli 24
Eau de Parfum
by Le Labo



The Scoop
Le Labo is known for playing with our ideas of what a fragrance should be, and Patchouli 24 is no exception. With Patchouli 24, talented perfumer Annick Menardo takes the idea of patchouli-- a rebellious adventurer with a creative streak-- and spins it into a scent that upsets all expectations. Instead of smelling like the patchouli we know, Patchouli 24 is intensely leathery and smoky, like a worn leather jacket laid over a hot motorcycle engine. Counterbalanced against these notes is a creamy, custard-like vanilla. Patchouli 24's contradictions draw us back to our wrists to smell it again and again. If you want straight patchouli, look elsewhere. If you are open to a fragrance that embraces the idea of patchouli, and yet is like nothing you've smelled before, welcome to Patchouli 24.

The amazing Tar note is untouched....just wanted to add to my previous review..the heart of the scent still rocks on.....

Be aware, this scent has changed, the color, and basenotes are more subtle, and lighter, not a bad thing, it makes it more wearable and a little leaner and cleaner after wearing it for a couple of hours, I still love it. I hope they don't tamper with Neroli36, or Oud27....................

Oddly enough, I don't get any of the smoky undertone of this fragrance, just a huge waft of vanilla. It's pretty much gourmand on me. Pleasant, but I won't be rushing out to buy a bottle.

Love. A smoky, earthy scent with an unexpected touch of sweetness. It's mysterious and dark and especially appropriate on a day when you're feeling inscrutable and you want your fragrance to match your mood.

deliriously good. I especially like it for work, when I need to smell good while also instilling mild terror into the hearts of my students. Goes with a brief case and a scowl.

This is Patchouli without the ditzy, heady, hippie haze most people associate with it. I was sure when I ordered samples that this would be one of my least favorites of the bunch, but, alas, Luca Turin was right all along (as usual). Yes, Patchouli 24 smells distinctly of old books, and it is the aging vanillic note that softens any rough edges that might be typically associated with the more "natural" patchoulis. The additional smoky haze (did someone light a match?) makes this fragrance that much more distinct, and "antiqued", though not in the traditional "old lady" type of way. Rather, it smells of old things, when old things become sweetened and yellowed, particularly older woods or books. So, hence forth, this is my one and only "off to the library" perfume, because it just makes you feel that scholarly, as if channeling a turn of the (last) century poet as he pores over books (possibly) smoking a little bit of somethin' somethin'.

The first moment I smelled this on my wrist after cracking open the sample at work, my brain didn't even work quickly enough to form a thought. It was shocking. Shockingly strange, complex, evocative and overwhelmingly beautiful. At first all I read is smoke and leather, birch tar, a bit acrid. But out of all this the most exquisite brown sugar emerges and that's what stays with me all day like the traces left by bottles of homemade maple syrup in my grandfather's shed with leather and smoke and heavy wool blankets that have been there all winter. And maybe the lawnmower too. After my first try I didn't think I would ever wear it, no matter how much I enjoyed smelling it. But I just kept thinking about it all the time and reaching for the sample. Finally one day I went to work with a spray of Patchouli Patch on my neck and a dab of Patchouli 24 on my wrists (a little dab goes a long way) and realized this is true love and possibly an addiction. Speaking of patchouli, I don't detect any at all until maybe a little bit in the drydown.

I wish every second of my entire life could smell like this. Smokey, soft, sublime.

I like this. It's a bit smokey (in an exotic way), but it's also soft and powdery. I would wear it again.

Burning tires? I get none of that..rather it's a smoky scent of Lapsang Souchong and I suspect this is some kind of aged patchouli giving the smoky effect. After the drydown it's sweetened black tea and a few hours after that it morphs into a sweet vanilla. Just lovely. I've been searching for a black tea scent for some time & this may be my new HG fragrance!

HORRIBLE!! Smells like burning rubber tires. What patchouli there is gets lost in all the stench. For a mellow, sophisticated, classy and refined patchouli, Chanel's Coromandel is absolute perfection.

This is my favorite perfume -- ever! It's not for the faint-hearted or trendy. My cat loves to sit on my sweaters at the end of the day... Zen monasteries smell this way.

very strong tar. mellows to a campfirey scent. it's not a bad smell, but i don't want to wear it as a perfume, that's for sure.

This starts off very smokey and earthy on me, in a good way. :) After about 30 minutes it turns slightly sweet and creamy. Delicious. ! I LOVE Dzing and this reminds me of it. The drydown is a little racier for this one though. I may have to buy this.

SMOKE! and LOADS of tar. Would be great as a candle but not a perfume.

Smells just like a campfire! But....do I want to spend this much to smell like a campfire? Haven't decided yet, but this is somewhat of a comfort scent for me. Perhaps one of those that will sneak up on men (in a good way) since it doesn't technically smell like "perfume".

I don't get the comparison to Bulgari Black, which I like. This, I hate w/a passion-it's just vile. Don't understand all the hype surrounding this brand either. Rose 31 is the only decent one in the bunch, imo.

Love, hate relationship with this one, a 1.7 has lasted me 3 years, go for the smaller size, it will last you forever. If you like bulgari black, you'll love this.

This is incredibly smoky - lots of birch tar. I know it gets top marks, but it's a bit too smoky for me personally, although I do like birch tar. It may be the combination of some other note in the fragrance that makes it a little off for me. Definitely sample first.
