What do reviewers say about Patchouli Paris and Borneo 1834?
Delphine Jelk took a risk pairing aldehydes with patchouli. One is cold and metallic, the other is earthy and deep. It’s a different kind of patchouli experience.Patchouli Paris
This is patchouli that doesn't whisper. It's bold, it's dark, it's the fragrance people either fall hard for or wrinkle their nose at, and that's the whole point.Borneo 1834
