  Behold Patchouli caught me off guard. It starts with an orange citrus note that quickly yields to chocolate, a super gourmand opening that instantly reminded me of candied oranges dipped in chocolate. Then incense and amber take over, with a touch of aldehydes; the patchouli is there, but wetter and earthier, crafted with great elegance. It becomes creamy, dark, and intense—I wouldn’t wear it during the day, it’s more for night. At the end, I notice the musk, sandalwood, and tiny vanilla hints. The longevity and projection are brutal; after 10 hours it’s already skin-close, but even then, when people get close, they smell it. Unisex.

  BP has surprised me. I’m not usually a fan of gourmands, but I absolutely loved this because it reminded me of another fragrance I adore. The opening is citrusy, orange, and chocolatey, like those chocolate cookies with orange marmalade. As it dries down, that combination softens but doesn’t disappear, being replaced by a VERY potent musk that dominates the trail and lasts a long time. I don’t see it as so much amber; it does have aldehydes and a lot of delicious, tamed patchouli (the one that recreates the chocolate), but those three notes dominate, starting with the orange. What surprised me most is that, as another reviewer said, it reminds me of Musc Ravageur, and it’s true: the dry-down is identical, the same musk. If MR is musky-vanilla, this is musky-chocolate. If you like MR, you’ll know what to expect…

  If Gallagher usually uses patchouli as his signature, here he pays homage to it in all its facets. It opens with an explosion of orange: some ripe and sweet, others green and bright, plus orange blossom. All of this blends with a chocolate accord that, without being sharp, merges with creamy tones that remind me of sandalwood. This clean sweetness lingers throughout the perfume’s life, closing with vanilla hints. The longevity is good and natural, though it’s more for personal enjoyment; on my skin, it doesn’t project much, staying in an intimate bubble that only those nearby will notice. Despite being gourmand, it’s versatile and works almost year-round, though it shines brightest in cooler months. If you like Symphonium, Velvet Chocolat, or Gourmantic Orange, here’s an excellent variation that doesn’t repeat itself.
