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 proper polariser; a dark, challenging leather-rose beast that'll either have you hooked or running for the hills. Not one for the faint-hearted, it demands a certain swagger but absolutely delivers on impact.
