    There's a version of patchouli that belongs to a specific era, and then there's this. Sumatra doesn't announce itself, it lingers. The tobacco keeps things surprisingly fresh.Arthes Essential Patchouli Sumatra
    LouLou is not a safe choice. It is big, resinous, and unapologetically floral with a plum-incense core that some adore and others find overwhelming. Wear it with intention or not at all.LouLou
