Which Should You Buy?
This isn't your grandma's patchouli. Guerlain's Patchouli Ardent is a divisive beast, a luxurious and assertive rose-leather-patchouli bomb that people either adore for its sophistication or recoil from its intensity. Definitely not a blind buy.
Divisive, unique, and utterly captivating, Platinum Leather isn't your average hide. It's a complex, intriguing scent that, for those who love it, borders on obsession, but for others, it's just not quite right.
