When Patch NYC and Soap & Paper Factory pooled their talents together on a line of solid perfumes, the result of the collaboration was what I consider quite pleasing to the senses with twelve unique unisex choices.  The four I got to sample were Whale, Pipe, Bear, and Ship.

Pipe is comforting, softly floral that exudes warmth with a relaxed sensuality through its velvety aroma.  Once its notes of vanilla, bourbon, cognac, and tobacco emerge against the patchouli, the combination mellows and grants this fragrance an irresistibly sexy, but cozy feeling.

If you prefer a fragrance with more of an exhilarating rush, then Whale is for you.  With notes of l'orange, patchouli, basil, and jasmine, this energizing scent is sheer, fresh, and offers promising adventure.

Then again, you could be attracted more to creamy, sweet scents like Bear, a gourmand that you will crave once you pick up that mix of a tasty aroma from honey against sweet floral notes and creamy woods.  This is subtle and yet enticing with sweet jasmine, violet, cedar, amber wood along with honey to pleasantly feed your senses with its delicious beauty.

Ship is a more mysterious and complex blend.  Cedar wood, vetiver, and geranium are the notes that turn it deep and seductive as it develops.  This intoxicating, woody fragrance is heady and adventurous.  Wearing this fearless, but alluring mix is not for everyone and is best meant for those daring and confident enough to handle the challenge.

Though I enjoyed them all, Pipe was my favorite of the group followed by Bear and Whale.  To me, Pipe possessed a contagious sort of sheer warmth that invited romance.   Ship, on the other hand, felt a bit more manly to me.

Now that I had a taste of these four from the set, I am more curious than ever to experience some others in the line.  Do visit Soap & Paper Factory and check the Patch NYC line of solid perfumes because they can take you places you may never have expected to go with their fragrant beauty!
