This rebel wears patchouli as its badge of pride, for no matter how you slice it, this is a patchouli fragrance. And it gets straight to the point, with the top notes all but non-existent except for a touch of heliotrope which lends a certain delicious edible aspect to the sweet woods supporting our star. More curious are the resins in the mix – they come off smelling like a chest rub to shift persistent congestion for a while before settling down. The patchouli itself is a soft and velvety creature, with a rubbed and worn quality to it rather than seriously earthy or vegetal. The deep drydown is reminiscent of car tires – this is strangely appealing.
All the elements in the composition seem to have been placed with deliberation giving it a structural solidity, even if doesn't quite sweep me away. Its trail is modest and the patchouli won't bore a hole in your brain with a smoking hot poker as some are wont to do. Has an active life of about four hours after which it is a murmur on the skin.
