Which Should You Buy?
Noir Patchouli is a divisive beast: some find it a sophisticated, vintage-inspired patchouli dream, while others are baffled by its lack of actual patchouli and its overwhelming 'old lady rose soap' vibe. Definitely not a blind buy.
Divisive yet undeniably popular among its target audience. While some dismiss it as a generic Invictus clone with a tacky bottle, many young users find its fresh, sweet, and green character a compliment-getting winner. Don't knock it 'til you've sniffed it.
