Real talk
Some fragrances age into obscurity. Patchouli by Reminiscence aged into a reference point. Launched in 1970, it still defines what earthy-woody means to anyone who understands true patchouli.Patchouli
This is not a wallflower fragrance. Obsession was built to project and last, and on the right skin it does both exceptionally well. The animalic drydown is a bold throwback.Obsession
