Patchouli

Just perfect patchouli for the cold season.

Superb pure Patchouli, excellent for winter and evenings

I've been looking high and low for a patchouli fragrance that compares with the (now sadly discontinued) Patchouli Absolu. I was seeking a patchouli-dominant fragrance. I detest loud floral scents, and I did not want something that was gourmand. I was hunting for a loud, pure (or at least as close as you can get) patchouli scent with richness and depth. I don't agree with the review that this fragrance is chemical; I would concede that the opening notes are a bit astringent, the dry down is smooth patchouli. My only complaint is that it's a eau de cologne rather than an eau de parfum; I would happy pay more for something with greater longevity. But - having said that, I will be back to purchase this again (the patchouli soap is also marvelous).

I was very disappointed in this choice. It has an overwhelming chemical odor and smells so artificial. Nothing like any patchouli at all. But I do love so many other st novella products.

I just recieved my bottle of Patchouli and it’s been the Patchouli I’ve been searching for 30 years .. I’ll be buying back up bottles as soon as I’m almost finished this one ❤️
