This is a filthy friggin’ patchouli, dark, deep, rooty, and strangely sexy, with cocoa absolute, tobacco absolute, and bourbon vanilla.
Previous scents: Dove deodorant.
In the bottle: Something sharp. I can’t smell anything besides something metallic.
Testing method: Two swipes of the wand against the inside of my left wrist.
Immediately: Phwoar. What the hell is that?
Fifteen minutes: Oh. It’s the patchouli. It’s a perfect patchouli, rooty and earthy and a lot like a wet stone buried in dirt. Unfortunately, this is the blend that made me discover that I don’t enjoy smelling patchouli, or smelling like it, and I can’t take anything else from this blend.
Overall: Well, at least I know I don’t like patchouli now. Take one down, pass it around, with the imp moving-on thing.
DISCLAIMER: Due to differences in skin chemistry, inherent olfactory powers, and other scents that an individual might use throughout the day (i.e. scented deodorants, shampoos, room sprays, cooking odors), these oils will smell different on every individual. This review is only intended to illustrate my personal experience wearing it throughout the day.
