What we might call MATURED, AGED, or VINTAGE. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI thought this was a fitting term for this incredible batch of vintage Patchouli, as it is quite unique, pitch black, thick and juicy - even FRUITY -  IT’S WILD !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT 2010 PATCHOULI QADEEM\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI get a lot of inquiries from Patchouli lovers and Oud Heads looking for really unique batches, and ultimate Patch experiences. If you're one of those kinds of people ... this is next level Patchouli - an Ateek experience like no other !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aroma is very different from the Patchouli's everyone knows and loves, which tend to be more woody and damp and humid smelling. This vintage solo batch is incredibly unique - easily mistaken for a vintage Oud oil at first whiff. Maybe even the first few whiffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe viscosity of this oil is insane. It's THICK, syrupy, and unlike new, or even other aged batches of Patchoulis I have. It’s also pitch black in color. Quite unique in this regard. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd the complexity !! This oil is iron-distilled, which is quite hard to find these days, as the industry tends to prefer the lighter oils produced in a stainless steel setup. When I first opened the bottle, the aroma that met my nose was almost as if I had opened a superb  bottle of vintage Scotch. The first whiff isn't Peaty, but it's definitely a gentle, Phenolic smokiness. Wafts of delicious smoke flitting through the jungle leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon't be afraid of it being a little smokey, as it is in the most delightful way, like those first moments a chip hits the heater. The consistency is tar-like, Oudy in its complexity - and yet, almost tea-like in its delicate aromatic caress on my nostrils, in the way that some of my favorite Ouds are tea-like. It's not punchy, like you'll see from fermentation - but it'll definitely throw you a hook and an uppercut right to the schnozz, piercing your brain like a Syrup of the Ancients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Oud-like complexity lasts throughout - and it's a few hours into the wear before the oil begins to smell more like what we would expect from a superb Patchouli specimen.  The first time I wore it, it was quite some time before it morphed in to something that I could peg as Patchouli. There's a lush, forest'y green'ness to it, almost like a Patchouli Absolute, but way more complex and interesting. I imagine between the age and the density of this oil, the Patchoulol content is through the roof !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM MY 1979 PATCHOULI ATEEK and from my PATCHOULI DAHREE ???\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePatchouli Qadeem has comparable lovely attributes of my Patchouli Ateek and my Patchouli Dahree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u0026gt;There is this uniquely FRUITY HEART that this batch of Patchouli has. I don’t think I’ve previously smelled a Patchouli that has a fruit note like this. The Qadeem and Dahree both have a lovely fruitiness that make them very unique, and their fruitiness is similar, yet distinctive from one another. It’s like a fruit compote wrapped in a shell of dense forest floor, green jungly goodness, and a glass of scotch. A kaleidoscope of Jungle and Berries. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e==\u0026gt;Dahree contains a VARNISH NOTE, which Qadeem does not contain. I’d say the fruity note in Qadeem is maybe a little stronger, as a result. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI've had many tell me this is hands down THE most unique Patchouli they've ever smelled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is isn't just premium stuff. It's Royal. Rich, deep, Oudy and oh-so-good !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-----\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe materials that I get are not often found among more commonly accessible aromatherapy suppliers. The quality is in the top 1-3% that is reserved for perfumery use - and the production is often from small artisan operations rather than huge commercial commodity producers. This is a rare treat, from a small batch of aged oil reserved by a small artisan producer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Chinese Medicine, Patchouli is known as Huo Xiang, Enters the Spleen and Stomach, Transforms Damp, Expels Summer Heat and Wind \/ Cold. It is ideal for Damp Environments prone to mold and mildew. Smells damn good, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect for compounding your own perfume or aromatherapy blends - and incredible in an aroma diffuser. Wears beautifully on it's own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**DOES NOT come with a regulator - and may be too thick for Pipettes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**This is a one-of-a-kind batch, and really really special stuff - be sure to grab some before it's gone !\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rising Phoenix Perfumery","offers":[{"title":"3g","offer_id":48387684204769,"sku":null,"price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5g","offer_id":48387684237537,"sku":null,"price":187.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15g","offer_id":48387684270305,"sku":null,"price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30g","offer_id":48387684303073,"sku":null,"price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120g","offer_id":48387684335841,"sku":null,"price":3250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8955\/0305\/files\/PatchouliQadeem_01.jpg?v=1779275682","url":"https:\/\/www.risingphoenixperfumery.com\/products\/patchouli-qadeem-2010-north-sumatran-royal-grade-essential-oil-ateek-series","provider":"RisingPhoenixPerfumery.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
