A green forest shrouded in darkness
First impression:
Dark, spicy, earthy (green) and warm/sweet.
The fragrance is really difficult for me to describe. I came across the fragrance because of the patchouli and amber note from Khaltat Night Eau de Parfum, which I had really liked. I was standing in a perfumery and saw the Perris Monte Carlo brand. It didn't mean anything to me, so I just went by the name first. Vanille de Tahiti (already reviewed) and Patchouli Nosy Be. I have to test a fragrance with the note in the name. The fragrance has the typical DNA of Perris Monte Carlo. Somehow there's always something slightly floral about it, but it's so faint that it almost goes unnoticed. Otherwise, it smells very earthy, but not like you would normally imagine earth to smell. It just smelled "green" to me. Like a forest at night, the mixture of earth and green plants in the dark. That describes it best. I compared the fragrance with Patchouli Nosy Be Extrait de Parfum and indeed, the only major difference in the smell is the lack of "green" in the extrait. The scent is dark and spicy, with the woods adding a certain depth to the fragrance, which means that the patchouli does not dominate the scent on its own.
It is interesting to note that another person had smelled the fragrance and identified it as Grand Soir. And indeed, the fragrance does resemble it despite having completely different scent notes (apart from the vanilla, which is rather less noticeable in this fragrance). But they are only similar in certain aspects and definitely not comparable. The Grand Soir is much warmer and sweeter. The association may be similar, but the overall fragrance impression is completely different.
