What do reviewers say about Tribal and Patchouli?
Patience required. The opening is dry, almost sour, the kind of patchouli that grips rather than welcomes. That's not a flaw, that's the point. The tonka bean arrives eventually.Tribal
Some fragrances hide patchouli. This one puts it center stage, front and center, and dares you to stick around. The 1996 gamble? A full pyramid built on one note. It pays off.Patchouli
