Christian Dior Patchouli Imperial is astonishing! and thats the least i could say. Patchouli Imperial is smooth, delicate , ultra refined with a kick of crisp sweet bergamont and mandarin , a stunning note of coriander, which is green natural and splendid, extremely smooth, with patchouli combined with ceder and warm delicate sandalwood. The sandalwood rounds off the patchouli and makes this such a smooth creation.

What I like very much about Patchouli Imperial, is that it manages to cover differents aspects of patchouli in one fragrance. I sense the powdery, the earthy, the dirty, the fresh mentholated and the gourmand aspects of the patchouli. They dont show up at the same time but in diferent moments fighting to get front stage. On topo of that you have the addition of coriander enhancing the animalic qualities (to some it might smell of arm pit) I can see some similarities with oud leather, they both have a woody animalic transperent quality in the oppening, but PI turns more mellow and gourmand in the drydown I suspect bacause of amber and cinamon.

Very smart, elegant high quality Pachouli fragrance. This works well as an office/corporate smell if you dare to show some current-uptodate sophistication and a bit more daring personality without offending too much.
Very linear indeed, well there are only 3 ingredients:
Patchouli, Coriander and Sandalwood. I love Sandalwood but it can be sometimes too dominant and prefer it for winter scents (Egoiste, Musc Ravageur, Joop!, etc..)
However, here the use of Sandalwood is moderate, just to add depth and a warm, balmy dimension to the green chypre dominance.
A very nice modern Patchouli with linear quality projection and development into a softer, warmer, woody dry dowm.
One of the Top 5 of this exclusive range.

A high-end patchouli fragrance. The scent is strong and loud, I should say. Patchouli here is very prominent and natural, it is surrounded by typical of Dior exclusive fragrances noble woody notes. If you like patchouli, try this perfume, it's a classic!
