Which Should You Buy?
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.
This is *the* classic patchouli, a rich, dark, and often chocolatey concoction that's either worshipped or reviled. Expect a powerful, earthy statement, not a quiet whisper.
