Our verdict on Patchouli 24: Acquired

Prepare yourself for a divisive olfactive journey. This ain't your grandma's patchouli; it's a bold, unapologetic smoke bomb that some will adore, others will find utterly repugnant. If you want BBQ on your skin, you've found its spiritual home.

With beast-mode projection and longevity, this is far too intense for the office. Its unique, smoky-leather profile makes it a standout for colder weather casual outings or intimate dates, though it might be too much for formal events.

About

This one opens with an intense blast of smoky birch and styrax, reminiscent of smouldering logs and crackling campfires, with a distinct leathery undertone. Forget green or earthy patchouli; here it's almost camouflaged beneath layers of tarry, woody richness. As it settles, a soft, creamy vanilla emerges in the base, attempting to smooth out the initial ruggedness, but the persistent smoky-leather accord remains front and centre, eventually drying down to a surprisingly sensual wood-fire scent.
