Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanille Patchouli Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper chameleon; some find it a gorgeous chocolate-vanilla gourmand, others get hit with pure, unadulterated patchouli or even root beer. It's affordable, it's long-lasting, and the crowd is utterly split, so test it out first.

Our Verdict - Patchouli Intense Eau de Parfum
Seriously polarising, Molinard's "Patchouli Intense" is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect strong opinions - this is no shy wallflower. For true patchouli lovers, it’s an absolute stunner, but if sweet Gourmands aren't your jam, steer clear.
