What do reviewers say about Psychedelique and Mea Culpa?
Psychedelique is not a polite fragrance. It wears patchouli the way it existed in the 1960s and 70s, resinous and unapologetic. The citrus opening is a deliberate contrast, a brief flash of light.Psychedelique
The opening is confrontational. Almost harsh. Medicinal, some say. That's not a bug, it's the point. This fragrance doesn't ask permission to be itself.Mea Culpa
Good to know
