New York Patchouli
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Bond No.9 New York Patchouli - a floral fragrance led by Litchi, Rose Water, Bergamot, with woody depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Bond No. 9 New York Patchouli is definitely *not* what you expect from the name- it's a fresh, clean surprise that gets showered with compliments, but leaves patchouli enthusiasts wondering where the patchouli went. Love it or hate it, it certainly brings the conversation.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The floral character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.
Occasions
Its floral, woody signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its clean, fresh, and versatile profile makes it ideal for office and casual wear, as it's not overpowering despite its longevity. While it can also work for dates and even some formal settings, its generally upbeat and less 'heavy' character prevents it from being a top pick for those occasions.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Floral, Citrus accords and Rose, Lilac notes
