What do reviewers say about Madness and Essence de Patchouli?
Madness earns its name. The pink pepper opening is a statement, if you want safe, look elsewhere. But for those who appreciate a fragrance with real character.Madness
Patchouli gets a bad reputation for being too much. This one earns its name, earthy, camphorated, insistent, but the rose and iris keep it from overwhelming.Essence de Patchouli
