What do reviewers say about Holy-wood and psy-cou?
Clearwood was engineered to be patchouli without the dirt. No earth, no must, just the depth. That clean-woody tension is the whole point. Once it settles.Holy-wood
Psy-cou throws out the traditional fragrance structure entirely. With no opening or drydown to speak of, you get the heart all at once, all the time. It is bold, complex and relentless.psy-cou
