Hint of patchouli perfume.....any such thing?

Just that really....I love the smell of patchouli (reminds me of my youth!) but I'd like to find a perfume that's reminiscent of it, without being too overpowering....a kind of 'grown up' version, I suppose. Does anyone know if such a thing exists, please? TIA Smile

TheCat.....I've just read the description of Bleu and it's made my mouth water! It sounds like all my favourite smells in one scent! I'm sooooo tempted, I've found it on a fragrance website, and it is really reasonable.....but I'm just worried in case I don't like it. I can't imagine that you can just send it back if you don't like it.......?

And thank you so much for the suggestions everyone.....I can't wear the Lush Karma one, as unfortunately the smell reminds me of someone I'm not over-keen on....isn't it strange how smells are sometimes terribly evocative?!

Also....Is the Prada one 'Amber'? I'm having a shopping trip this weekend and am intending on checking a few out! I know I'll only be able to try two or three at a time, as my nose won't be able to cope with any more, so I need to be sure I'm trying the direct ones.
(Unfortunately I can't opt for any of the £££ ones atm.....majorly skint with the run up to Christmas!)

I have the Tom Ford and it's my "signature" - I get a lot of compliments when I wear it (I almost don't want anyone else to wear it though ! Wink )

I love Vivienne Westwoods Let it Rock, I feel like a 70's rock star in it, kind of grungy and hippy.

Another vote for Karma at Lush. This reminds me of my patchouli drenched youth. DS washes his hair with the soap and gets very annoyed when I start sniffing his head because the patchouli smell takes me back to 1984.

Karma from Lush is revolting, there is no 'hint of', it's full on smash over the head Patchouli.
