The Scoop

Psychédélique, Jovoy's magnificent ambered patchouli, largely stays in the shadows, meditating on the synergies between a cocoa-like amber and an inky-dark patchouli, although rose and geranium offer a touch of freshness to its earthy sexiness.

The synaesthete might say that on the olfactory color wheel, patchouli resides somewhere between black and chocolate brown, with a bit of iridescent chartreuse green shimmering in between. Camphory, inky, aromatic, and even darkly refreshing, the elegant patchouli in Psychédélique is “dark, smoky, ambered, generous and opulent, ” says François Hénin, and in spite of its unfortunate branding given by unwashed hippies 1960s, he says of this perfume that “Even the mud of Woodstock won't wash it away.”

Psychédélique is like an olfactory Mark Rothko painting that explores the gradations between dark colors — in this case, patchouli, amber, and musk. Darkly seductive and even comforting, you might even call it 50 Shades of Black.

Here's what other people are saying about Psychedelique...

Whoa...blindsided again by Jovoy. What a charmer this one is to wear. Intense patchouli but blended in such a way that it's not overly earthy and gives the impression of chocolate cake. Shy of gourmand, but a really clever scent. Try first. May be better on women but I like it.

this fragrance is wonderful but the bottle I received leaks what do I do ?

By Bill Bruce - Contractor. from Beaumont ca. on 1/31/2020

It blasts out of the bottle with gusto and intensive fervor. Initially, it was a heavy-hitter with the patch coming on strong to the point where I couldn't readily identify the other notes. TICK -TICK-TICK, then, the slow and lovely swirl down in to a warm, sexy, senses-wheeling scent that was electrifying. Take note: I am a fervent Patch lover. This fragrance isn't all about the Patch though. The blend is multidimensional. For you fence-sitters, this one is worth a try but I would advise a sampling first. Apply liberally and see what magic happens.

By Chip - Faux Artist from Knoxville on 10/26/2018

Hm. I loved it right away. A more complex patchouli, it really has that distant memory of a classy head shop from the 60s about it ... but it faded fast and ended up smelling like a more average patchouli on me. I think I have a difficult chemistry for fragrances to have much staying power. I'm trying it again and I'll get back to you. I want to keep loving it.

Nice patchouli but very faint on me, I can hardly smell it.

Jovoy makes some seriously potent juice. This is presently my favorite house. So far I've fallen madly in love with, four of their fragrances...Psychedelique, Les Jeux sont Faits, Private Label, and Ambre Premier...in that order. While these notes have become very commonly slapped together countless times. Psychedelique is different...it creates a fragrance barrier, an aura that radiates for hours on end, perfect for a long evening. The quality is second to none. I've had several people ask me what I was wearing especially during the first 4-5 hours. After that you have to get in closer, but still doesn't fail to impress. Psychedelique combines with ones skin chemistry immaculately after the opening becoming extremely gender free. A Very well done rendition.

By H.Smoke - RoughNeck from Chicago on 8/2/2014

Psychedelique starts out on the sharp, dry end of the patchouli spectrum -- not at all unpleasant, and rather similar to L'Artisan's Patchouli Patch. But an hour later, the sharp notes have dropped back into place and the fragrance becomes warmer, more rounded and much more nuanced. There's a really nice play between the drier and warmer elements of the fragrance. I totally agree that the name Psychedelique, and its connotations with dirty hippies and cheap patchouli, is rather unfortunate, because this is a sophisticated, very wearable patchouli-based scent.

It's funny, this one - I have almost a love/hate with it. If you're patient and can wait for the drydown 30-60 minutes later, you'll be thrilled. The LS description is as good one, but it takes awhile to get intoxicating. Initial blast is super sharp, but with time, your skin is left with a beautiful woodsy, ambered patchouli. My patience is good though and I bought a FB. Also worth trying are the Ambre Premier (beautifully done amber but nothing as unusual as P) and L'Enfant (which is very similar to Feminite du Bois).
