Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Patchouli
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.

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.
