This fragrance is lovely - it’s an excellent dupe and in fact I prefer it. I always get compliments wearing this and am delighted it’s back in stock as I had just run out.
Love this perfume! .. So when my oil and spray PP arrived I could already smell straight from the bottles the similarity to the original.. I’ve only worn the original twice .. and the PP ones longevity is incredible!! .. Another 12+ that I could smell all day.. Where you only get a few measly hours wear from le labo’s .. So for that reason never bought this beautiful scent.. Until now!
Thankyou perfume parlour, love how you got the smokiness to this, just right! :)

Not a carbon-copy: it's lacking the vanilla base of the original. However, this is a very nice perfume oil, by its own. The dominant smell is burning birch. It's birch-tarry and like camp fire, but not in a dirty leather style and certainly not in an oudh style. As duplicate I'd give this oil 3/5 stars but I just have to raise it to 4/5 because it's so nice by its own way.
Really love the original le labo patchouli and this is very similar dry down is excellent and seems to last too :)
At first it seems close to the original, but it misses the warm ambery, benzoin, vanilla character which results in the smoky birch to be a bit too hars, in your face. Also, it only last 2-3 hours on my skin. Still a pleasant smell. (13ml spray)
