What do reviewers say about Shalimar and Varens Original Patchouli Chic?
Shalimar is aldehydic history bottled, but it remains surprisingly Intimate on skin. The opening feels bright, the heart powdery and romantic, and the drydown is just plain cuddly.Shalimar
Patchouli Chic takes the note that's supposed to be difficult and makes it feel inevitable. Earthy, yes. But sweet enough to wear to dinner. At this price, the question isn't whether it's good.Varens Original Patchouli Chic
