    What do reviewers say about cruising-area and Psychedelique?

    This isn't a fragrance you choose. It chooses the night. The smoke is thick, the clove bites, and patchouli doesn't apologize for being patchouli. If you're looking for something safe, look elsewhere.cruising-area
    Psychedelique is not a polite fragrance. It wears patchouli the way it existed in the 1960s and 70s, resinous and unapologetic. The citrus opening is a deliberate contrast, a brief flash of light.Psychedelique
