What do reviewers say about Oak Wood and Patchouli?
Sweet pipe tobacco that doesn't beg for attention. Smoky, yes, but never aggressive. The kind of wear-it-all-night fragrance that gets comments at hour eight, not hour one.Oak Wood
Most patchouli fragrances soften the note or hide behind it. This one puts it front and center. Bergamot opens clean, then the dark, oudy patchouli arrives with its tarry heart intact.Patchouli
