What do reviewers say about Prison Blues and Bleeding Heart Patchouli?
Cardamom and pepper that don't apologize. Then it gets interesting, cedar rounds what could have been harsh into something you lean toward. Not for those who want their fragrance to whisper.Prison Blues
Patchouli this concentrated isn't subtle, and it shouldn't be. If you've been waiting for a version that feels honest instead of skanky, here it is. The osmanthus doesn't sweeten the deal.Bleeding Heart Patchouli
