I usually love the fragrances that stand between the edge of modern and classic but here I don't see these paradoxes good,it feels like it's cheating her personality,I also can't get the point why WHITE patouli,on me it's more of a brown patchouli Just make sure to not overspray,give it enough time to settle down and don't wear it in hot summer days that is, or may reasonably be considered to be submitted in extreme volumes and as such be deemed as ‘spam’;

If only Tom Ford White Patchouli upheld the promise of its opening accord, I would have been ready to give it 5 stars. It opens up on such a sultry accord of spices and amber with patchouli’s chocolate bitterness perceptible underneath; it is difficult not to fall under its spell. Yet, after an opulent prelude, the composition veers into the barren territory of sharp woods and pale musks. Perhaps this suggests that I prefer my patchouli in the darker registers, full of its earthy, pungent facets. Thinking what could smell alike this strange but well thought start, i can say it reminds me to the rare beauty of Aromatics Elixir, being all over White Patchouli cleaner, lighter and less complex with a very different performance as we will see. I was registered with Parfumo. It was so interesting here that I scrolled from fragrance to fragrance, let myself in, lost sight of White Patchouli and first wrote about my existing fragrances comments. White Patchouli is without a doubt one of the best Patchouli fragrances that I have encountered on the market. It smells Rich, Bold, Sexy and quite unisex to my nose. Some people say it smells very feminine, but I think that its bold enough to be worn by both Men and Women.And I'm not sure about it... The patch isn't HUGE or hippie/sweaty it's just spicy. This is very masculine IMO. Or else it's def a NIGHT scent on the right woman-- either a cute hippie girl or a very powerful, sexy confident business woman... lol. (I'm never THAT serious when I say who should wear a perfume. Anyone and everyone should wear exactly what they enjoy!) After a short moment the Patchouli changes on my skin. It's still earthy and aromatic, it's not the sterilized sparkling patch you find in most mainstream fruitchoulis. But it's very smooth and polished, like sleek dark woods. I think one of the main reasons I love this fragrance is the fact that it is just blended so well, the notes are not competing for my attention, they've just closed into one another and formed a very strong and well put together scent. There are moments where the Patchouli shouts out for attention, but its quite tame and almost muted in this fragrance. Its not in your face and its not obnoxious in the way it is with fragrances like Angel and Tom Ford's Purple Patchouli (which irritates the life out of me). White patchouli is a year round fragrance,better for mild weather since it can be overwhelming in heat WP is, like the name, all about the Patch’, but with Tom Fords creation he takes the precarious material and transforms it into something quite unique. It is not an earthy patchouli, but emphasizes the woody camphor aspect, and as a result it is LUMINOUS and aromatic. Notes of coriander, ambrette seed, ylang-ylang, jasmine and methyl tuberose add definition and character. No floral dominates over the other and is very well blended with blonde woods and a kiss of musk and bewitching incense at the drydown. It is thoroughly modern with bohemian flair, No candied strawberry here

Beautiful Ms. Rose flits about. I think she is the hostess along with her handsome lover, Mr. Patch. But this couple enjoys their guests and they do their best to make them all shine at this beautiful gala.Yes,there is a but here.a huge but...but drydown which doesn't force me wait for a long time,is something I happen to love now!it smells heavenly and I find it one of the most artistically done patchouli scents I have ever had pleasure of smelling Well, it's, to me, actually more of a rose centered fragrance. With a slightly bitter base giving it that chypre feeling. To me this is very clean and earthy, it's nice but doesn't have enough of the qualities I usually gravitate towards in a scent for me to want to buy a bottle and smell like this.

Opening part is very loud and harsh for me but when it calms down,I can wear it and tolerate it but I can't like it I love Tom Ford, but I really dislike patchouli for the most part. (It's amazing when blended and used right, but PURE patchouli-- nope... reminds me of pot and hippies, or else armpit sweat)Let me start that this is NOT what I expected it to be. Because in WP the patchouli has very little to do with real patchouli. It is, on the contrary, a white floral monster! It is very very huge on the peony, rose and other white flowers - not mentioned but i am sure there is plenty of Magnolia, a note that I do not particularly favour - i do not even detect the initial bergamot opening (as written in the notes).
