The Architecture
Psychédélique, Jovoy's magnificent ambered patchouli, largely stays in the shadows, meditating on the synergies between a cocoa-like amber and an inky-dark patchouli, although rose and geranium offer a touch of freshness to its earthy sexiness. The synaesthete might say that on the olfactory color wheel, patchouli resides somewhere between black and chocolate brown, with a bit of iridescent chartreuse green shimmering in between. Camphory, inky, aromatic, and even darkly refreshing, the elegant patchouli in Psychédélique is�dark, smoky, ambered, generous and opulent, �� says François Hénin, and in spite of its unfortunate branding given by unwashed hippies 1960s, he says of this perfume that�Even the mud of Woodstock won't wash it away.�� Psychédélique is like an olfactory Mark Rothko painting that explores the gradations between dark colors �� in this case, patchouli, amber, and musk. Darkly seductive and even comforting, you might even call it 50 Shades of Black.
