What do reviewers say about Patchouli and Reflection Man?
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
Reflection Man is not trying to shout over anyone in the room. It is a quiet confidence wrapped in aromatic herbs, soft florals, and creamy woods. The pepper note keeps things interesting without.Reflection Man
