Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Patchouli Nosy Be
This is a serious, sophisticated patchouli for those who know what they want. It’s certainly not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, with some calling it love-at-first-sniff and others detecting an 'acetone' note. It's rich, dense, and performs like a beast - if you're a patchouli fan, this one's for you.

Our Verdict - Patchouly
Divisive yet adored, this is the Mother of all Patchoulis - a beast mode performer that's unapologetically bold. It demands attention, with some finding it a revelation and others, a challenge. Definitely not quiet luxury.

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
