Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Patchouly
Divisive yet adored, this is the Mother of all Patchoulis - a beast mode performer that's unapologetically bold. It demands attention, with some finding it a revelation and others, a challenge. Definitely not quiet luxury.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Double Espresso
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. If you want to smell exactly like raw coffee beans, this could be your jam - but prepare for a divisive reaction. It's realistic to a fault, so don't expect a crowd-pleasing gourmand.

Season and Occasion Fit

Patchouly

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

This perfume is a monster in longevity and sillage, making it too overwhelming for polite office wear. Its rich, dark, and sensual character, combined with its opulent performance, makes it perfect for dates and evening formal events, though perhaps a bit much for everyday casual wear.

Double Espresso

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Also Works:
Casual

Its strong, divisive nature means it's best kept for casual settings or at home. For office wear, it needs careful, extremely light application, and it's far too assertive for formal events or sports.
