    Real talk

    Patchouli that doesn't whisper. The lavender-geranium opening is sharp and confident, then the earthy heart arrives and refuses to leave. Eight to ten hours of staying power.Imperial Patchouli
    This is the fragrance for someone who wants vetiver and nothing else. No florals to soften it, no sweetness to apologize for. Just the dry, earthy depth of roots and bark.Encre Noire
