    Real talk

    The patchouli here isn't a 90s flashback. It's refined, almost polished, tempered by geranium and lifted with citrus. This is the version someone who claims to hate patchouli would actually want to.Patchouli 1973
    Some fragrances suggest. Herod insists. The tobacco-vanilla base isn't subtle, it's the whole argument, and it wins. Sweet enough to pull people in, structured enough to keep them at a distance.Herod
