Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Patchouli 24 EDP
Prepare yourself for a divisive olfactive journey. This ain't your grandma's patchouli; it's a bold, unapologetic smoke bomb that some will adore, others will find utterly repugnant. If you want BBQ on your skin, you've found its spiritual home.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Alive Absolu Parfum
Prepare for a divisive ride. Alive Absolu opens with a hefty dose of leather and patchouli, which some find intriguing and sophisticated, while others recoil, likening it to bug spray or burnt tyres. It’s a definite love-it-or-hate-it affair, not for the faint of heart.

Season and Occasion Fit

Patchouli 24

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

With beast-mode projection and longevity, this is far too intense for the office. Its unique, smoky-leather profile makes it a standout for colder weather casual outings or intimate dates, though it might be too much for formal events.

Alive Absolu

Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Spring Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

The strong, prominent leather and patchouli accords, combined with its long-lasting performance, make this scent too assertive for office wear. Its bold, luxurious character, however, lends itself perfectly to date nights and formal winter evenings, where it can be truly appreciated.
