Which Should You Buy?
This is a patchouli for the uninitiated, offering a cleaner, fresher take on a classic note. It's often hailed as a modern, wearable patchouli, but some find it lacks character and performance. A gorgeous and addictive 'modern sexy patchouli' for some, a 'soapy mess' for others.
Manhattan by Bond No. 9 captures the urban sophistication with its spicy-woody blend that feels both modern and timeless.
