  I’ve never been so fascinated and seduced by the blend of patchouli with cacao, vanilla, leather, and cognac. The result is sharp and highlights the tobacco, citrus, and amber. A well-balanced old fragrance, with maximum quality essences that make it mysterious, captivating, and comforting.

  Normally I don’t like fragrances with patchouli, and this is no exception, but it has quality and is a must for lovers of the note. It opens with a mentholated and earthy patchouli at the same time, which surprised me because it’s usually one or the other. There’s also a hint of liquor at the start and an orangey base. Gradually, cacao, vanilla, honey, and resins enter, trading the spotlight with the patchouli. It’s a perfume with many nuances: you smell it once and notice something, come back, and notice something else. Sometimes the bitter cacao stood out, other times the honey (not animalic), and other times the vanilla as it dried. The liquor tone fades and the resins, vanilla, and patchouli take control until the end, with a woody base that completes everything. Spectacular performance in projection and longevity. It’s more masculine and better for cold weather, especially at night. Frankly good, but it’s not my type due to the dominant patchouli, though it’s impossible to deny it’s a good perfume. The brand is unknown here and has interesting things.

  Smells like patchouli, cognac, leather, and tobacco. Those are the notes I perceive. It’s for older people and those with experience in strong scents. It’s from 1925, an old-school fougère. I recommend it to perfume addicts who meet those requirements.

  Horizon: Opens with a fleeting touch of petit grain, rose, and patchouli (no citrus or jam). Within minutes, that disappears, leaving only the patchouli, followed by cacao, tobacco, and earthiness (I don’t notice cognac, oak, amber, or almond here). As it dries, it gains sweetness; the patchouli and earthiness remain, joined by vanilla, honey, an amber base, and a touch of leather. Thanks to that sweetness, it ends with a musky cacao (the brand’s signature), a great move that keeps it from being boring or invasive. Projection lasts 6-7 hours, on skin more than 10, even after a shower. It’s a pure vintage fougère, based on earth and patchouli, with that typical Oriza L. Legrand musky finish. Aromatic, very retro. It evolves well: at first it seems monotonous, but it gains notes until it becomes something special, hard to find today with all the sweetness and oud in fashion.

  If this smells like 1925, then the perfume from back then must have been a beast, because what I knew of the era has nothing to do with this. Instead of flowers or a clean fougère, this smells like the 70s, the era of patchouli. That note dominates: it’s earthy, chocolatey, and dark. I don’t detect liquor, roses, or jam, just a touch of sweetness from the amber and vanilla. There are better options in the niche today, but given its age, it should be a myth, even if it’s been surpassed. The performance is scarce; projection and sillage are non-existent, lasting only 5-6 hours on the skin. For the modern niche, it’s normal for it to be so underwhelming.
