This patchouli aftershave feels great on my skin and has a really nice, masculine scent. I never would have thought I'd ever like a patchouli scented AS, but Santa Maria Novella really has done a great job blending the fragrance into something that is easy to wear and not overbearing. It's fresh and earthy, but it's also a bit sweet to my nose. It's cooling and soothing after a close shave. SMN make some of the best aftershaves I've every used.
