    Real talk

    Most patchouli fragrances try to be your friend. This one just exists, dry, a little bitter, carrying itself without needing you to like it. The anise opening isn't a phase; it's the point.Patchouli Patch
    Patience required. The opening is dry, almost sour, the kind of patchouli that grips rather than welcomes. That's not a flaw, that's the point. The tonka bean arrives eventually.Tribal
