What do reviewers say about Patchouly and Mea Culpa?
Some fragrances announce themselves. This one already knows where it stands, quietly holding ground in warm amber and deep patchouli. Not for those who need to be noticed.Patchouly
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
