    What do reviewers say about Mea Culpa and Patchouly Eau de Parfum?

    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
    Warm enough for someone who thought they didn't like patchouli. The amber and vanilla take the edge off everything earthy, leaving a scent that feels worn in rather than stamped on. Moderately sweet.Patchouly Eau de Parfum
