Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sole Patchouli EDP
This one's a divisive marvel. Some call it a masterpiece of modern patchouli; others recoil from its medicinal bite. It’s either a fresh, clean take on a classic or a harsh, synthetic mess. Definitely try before you buy, as 'Sole Patchouli' ignites strong opinions.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Patchouli Essence EDP
A budget clone of Vertus Sole Patchouli. The bright, clean, almost vetiver-like green patchouli with its hint of marshmallow sweetness captures the original's fresh take on patchouli, though Perfume Parlour renders it a touch simpler.
