What do reviewers say about Boy Eau de Parfum and Bourbon Patchouli?
Boy doesn't announce itself. The lavender is the point, clean, aromatic, a little old-fashioned. It opens with straightforward clarity, the herbaceous quality present but never aggressive.Boy Eau de Parfum
The hemp note will divide the room. Skunky to some, herbal to others. Neither polite nor performative, it anchors the vanilla in something alive, not synthesized. That's the whole point at Heretic.Bourbon Patchouli
