What do reviewers say about Patchouli and Psychedelique?
Some fragrances hide patchouli. This one puts it center stage, front and center, and dares you to stick around. The 1996 gamble? A full pyramid built on one note. It pays off.Patchouli
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
