What do reviewers say about Real Patchouly and Kalimantan?
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
Borneo is not a polite place. Neither is this. Kalimantan opens with intention, herbaceous, almost medicinal, before settling into a warm resinous core that reviewers on enthusiasts have called.Kalimantan
