Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Celestial Patchouli

Celestial Patchouli is for card-carrying patchouli fans only. This isn't your grandma's patchouli- it's a bold, earthy, woody beast with a spicy kick that can be divisive but ultimately captivates. Expect intense warmth and a slightly dirty charm.

Statement

Our Verdict - Sandalwood

A modern take on a classic sandalwood, it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea. It's got a fresh, spicy opening that promises much, but some find the dry-down a bit... off. Definitely one to try on skin before you commit.

Best For:

Office Formal

Also Works:

Date Casual
