What do reviewers say about Real Patchouly and Idillio?
If you've been burned by patchouli that smelled like dirt and regret, this is the correction. Bois 1920 built Real Patchouly around Indonesian patchouli that's actually good, rich, chocolatey.Real Patchouly
The immortelle keeps Idillio from becoming another smooth amber. There's a slight dissonance here, herbal, almost bitter, that makes this worth wearing instead of just smelling nice.Idillio
