A divisive but utterly captivating brew. Pasha de Cartier Parfum is a boozy, ambery-woody masterpiece for some, a dusty old room or even BO for others. Try it; if it clicks, you'll be hooked.

This one's a proper grown-up patchouli, woody and amber-rich without being too dark or earthy. It's a bit of a chameleon, with some finding it a dead ringer for Coromandel's sophisticated cousin, and others detecting a completely distinct cedar focus. Divisive on the exact composition, but generally well-regarded for quality and performance.
