Our take

Patrick opens with a brisk slap of fern and green notes, citrus sharpening the edge and a touch of spice pushing through like a cold breeze off the Atlantic. The heart is where it softens unexpectedly: carnation and rose, floral but restrained, not sweet or cloying, more like the lingering scent of pressed flowers in a wool coat pocket. It dries down to oakmoss and vetiver, earthy and musky, with patchouli adding a warm, slightly muddy rootiness. The overall character is a damp tweed jacket left out overnight in a meadow, then brought inside and forgotten on a wooden chair. This is a natural smelling fougere, not synthetic, but decidedly old school. Patrick wears close to the skin, with sillage and longevity that are frankly modest: 2.81 and 3.20 out of 5. After the top notes fade, does it become little more than a whisper of dried herbs and clean earth? That intimacy suits a quiet spring afternoon or a breezy summer picnic, not a night out. It belongs on a man who prefers subtlety over projection, who wants to smell like a woodland floor rather than a laundromat. Skip it if you crave power or sweetness. This is a gentle, green ghost of a fragrance.
