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.
This one's a beast: a divisive, potent brew of rose, patchouli and leather that demands attention. You'll either adore its bold complexity or find it far too much. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but a serious statement if you can pull it off.
