I wasn’t sure what to expect from the name of this perfume , I imagined something autumnal and heavier with strong wood and vanilla undertones , but this is the exact opposite. This is patchouli’s fresh green summer twin, with a burst of bright citrus, and it works. I would classify this perfume as fresh green citrus, this is not a heavy aged patchouli. There was a perfume back in the 90s that you could buy in the drug stores called Fresh patchouli, and this fragrance is identical. I always loved that scent but it was discontinued. This is a nice scent for everyday warm weather wear, it’s fresh, reminds me of a summer day in the woods. The perfume comes alive if you spritz it on just after getting out of the shower. I will definitely be buying a full size of this one.

MINDFUL SOURCING
Pink Pepper: Revitalizing Rural Communities
Our Pink Pepper comes from southeastern Madagascar, where our supplier and their partners have transformed a poverty-stricken rural area since 2000. By introducing pink pepper plantations and establishing a local research center, they’ve generated sustainable economic activity in the region. Pink pepper has become the main source of income for local communities, providing stable livelihoods where they were once scarce. Our supplier has financed the replantation of 50,000 pink pepper plants, ensuring this valuable resource continues to support generations to come.
Upcycled Rose Essential: Innovation Meets Sustainability
Our Upcycled Rose Essential represents the perfect harmony of ethical sourcing and environmental innovation. Since 2008, our supplier has maintained a vertically integrated rose sourcing platform in Turkey, purchasing handpicked flowers directly from farmers to ensure fair wages and guaranteed volumes. The breakthrough came in 2012, when their scientists discovered that rose water—typically discarded after distillation—still contained beautiful aromatic molecules. This discovery led to an innovative process combining the remaining rose water with essential oils to create our Upcycled Rose Essential, transforming what was once considered waste into a precious fragrance ingredient while supporting local farming communities.

Dawn A. 5/5 Verified
Could not love this more. Thank you!
Bunni H. 5/5 Verified
Not very patchouli heavy at all. the dry down has more of a rose scent . It’s Crisp clean floral, sweet not what I expected but still lovely.
Claire 4/5
I imagined it to have a more musk overtone along the lines of bourbon, but it was more along the lines of fruity vodka. The lasting undertone was truly patchouli which was nice.
James 4/5
I adore patchouli and this fragrance really delivers! I think a lot of people are either love it or hate it when it comes to the earthy scent of patchouli so I was a little nervous about wearing this to work, but I actually had several compliments, and thankfully no one complained about it being too strong. I've worn it every day since, and I'll be sad when it's gone, but now I'm looking very forward to trying more new scents.
Marilyn 5/5
I was really wanting something I could wear everyday, for work mostly (retail but I still like to smell nice lol). Anyways, one spritz and I knew this was what I had been looking for! It is bright and energetic but also sexy and spicy but not in an overpowering sense. The lemon and bergamot are really allowed to shine in this fragrance and I love it.
Shakota 5/5
This scent is fantastic. It's clean without being boring, it's got a bit of a spice to it, and the woodsy, earthy patchouli is balanced by just a touch of sweetness. Everyone at work LOVES this one, I got a sample and burned through it so quickly that I just had to get a month's order.
Joey 4/5
Don’t ask why i been dying to try it for the name & obv the scent but i do think it’s a little too powerful but it smells very clean and once it sits it’s wayyy better then the first time you smell it the patchouli pink pepper n Italian bergamot is all i smell. It’s okay.. i wouldn’t buy a big bottle
Danielle 4/5
I LOVE this scent. This is exactly what someone might be looking for when you want Patchouli, but not dirty hippie Patchouli. It's definitely not a feminine scent, but more of a unisex scent. The pink peppercorn keeps the scent a little spicy, but the longer it wears, the more you get the rose undertone. I also love layering with this and pairing it with bright and sweet. Hubby said he would also wear it. Super nice!
Aja 5/5
More dry, warm woods than booze or green herbs. The spice is more floral and rosarian than herbaceous. I love patchouli, so more of that scent profile would've been nice. I was expecting something earthy, but this is quite clean and fresh. Unisex, but very masculine leaning. There's a strong base note of aromatic leather. Come to think of it, this reminds me of the interior of a very expensive new sports car. This would be very sexy on a man, but I think it's also a modern, unexpected women's fragrance as well. Not what I anticipated after reading the scent notes, but still beautiful perfume, especially if you prefer something without a lot of sweetness.
Katie 4/5
I love this scent! it's not what I would have picked for myself if I would have smelled first! This perfume definitely doesn't end up smelling on me how it starts smelling on me. It starts our very bright and sharp a litte too sharp little too boozy. But once it starts to dry down it devlopes an amazing smoky incense kind of quality. I love that it smells very bohemian but also very glam and not dipping into to hippy drippy. I feel so Studio 54 in thisin the best way. Not a work perfume. But not so heavy it can be only worn out at night. You can absolutely wear this as a very glam daytime fun perfume. Allthough it might be a bit heavy for summertime. I'm absolutely buying a bottle of this I love it so much.
Anna 5/5
A gorgeous scent for absolutely anyone. So well balanced, the floral rose notes combine perfectly with the patchouli, pink pepper, lemon & Italian bergamot to round everything out. Definitely more of a mature scent (might give you Boomer/GenX vibes at first) but develops beautifully into an overall classy scent. Wasn't sure at first, but after wearing it for a few hours, I'm in love❤️...
Jason 5/5
This fragrance is so refreshing and unique. I you get crisp and clean citrus from the bergamot, a light spicy/earthy smell from the bergamot and pink pepper, and I’m always about an amber base note. The hint of rose makes it a classic without being too powdery. The scent is mysterious and captivating without being too over the top. Is this perfume or does she just smell like that?
Caitie 5/5
This perfume is not for everyone….but it’s such an all encompassing scent that hits every note I love on my skin. It’s peppery and spicy with a memory of a man’s cologne. I’d say this is definitely a gender neutral scent and will fit well with the proper person. It lasts and when I need to smell it again I fluff my clothes and it fills my office nicely. Not overwhelming, but just enough ok get compliments every time someone walks into the office. Overall, this scent was exactly what I needed and not what I was expecting. My mom hates the smell- she loves floral/powdery scents.
Danielle 5/5
A blanket of patchouli, and a soft breeze hitting a lemon tree in the warm sunshine...as you walk by a single rose..and the dew from the morning glistening on its petals catches your eyes... A smell you feel in all your senses..and it delights.
Michelle 5/5
I'm OBSESSED with this smell, all my friends love it. a little goes a long way but it lingers without being overpowering. it's name very much fits it's a soft warm boozy smell with fruity undertones. a very light musk Id say a tad on the masculine side but still very unisex!
Madison 5/5
A clean patchouli fragrance that last all day I love it! it’s a strong but lovely wear that will have you feeling like a million bucks
Kylie 5/5
This is such a beautiful layered scent. It’s woody, spicy, and even a smidge floral from the bergamot notes. It starts off strong, and fades a bit, but lasts the whole day for me.
Leah 5/5
Literally just received this from my mail lady. Looove it. I can smell the citrus behind the herb and amber, and I love how they mingle. It's just interesting and different... definitely a great daytime summer scent! I look forward to how it will dry down and wear during the day. This scent alone makes me want to check out the rest of the brand's offerings.
Monique 5/5
Soft and sensual with woody spicy notes. This unisex fragrance smells sexy and feminine on me and warm and masculine on my husband. So Ph determines what notes stand out on the individual. Would have given 5 stars if only it had more staying power. This being a true edp is questionable.
Concetta 4/5
I love this scent. It’s very citrusy, mixed with patchouli. As it dries it does turn pretty soft and fresh. I wish the citrus and patchouli stood out longer.
Valerie 4/5
This scent was nothing like I expected. I expected a heavy, earthy smell and was pleasantly surprised with a much lighter, almost cedar scent. I don't think this will be an every day wear, but I'll definitely keep it in mind for a night out.
Sarah 5/5
I am a big fan of patchouli. Love the earthiness paired with the brightness of the bergamot and light rose.
Melba 5/5
A little more "masculine" than I was expecting, but I actually really like the scent! The patchouli is strong, but those lighter, more flirty notes of rose and pink pepper just glint slightly in the back of the nose. Light enough for the everyday, but PERFECT for that special occasion! For a first time fragrance, I'm really impressed with this one!
Meaghan 5/5
Ok, I love androgine aromas, this one is very interesting, but def not for everyone.. Patchouli always works for me, but I would say because of the layers it's def not primary note, it hidden with strong pepper and mild rose so its definetly bitter one it's on my skin type, but when at first glance it's sweet & flirty . Not to long lasting but definetly not dissapiering quikly.
Mariia 5/5
I love the smell of this cologne. The soft notes of patchouli are right on the money. It’s a lasting smell that’s good for day or evening wear.
Michelle 5/5
I’m not getting too much patchouli from this scent, but it has the strength of patchouli. One spritz is all I need. It starts out very musky/spicy but settles into a nice woodsy scent with a hint of citrus. I love it and recommend for ladies who like a spicier scent.
Shelby 5/5
I didn't even make into the house before trying this one on. I love patchouli when it's mixed with something else and I wondered if this would just smell like a drunk hippy. It's actually really pretty, it's got the earthy, powdery notes of a typical patchouli but it's got a unique sweetness that grounded in woodiness that makes this so interesting. It is definitely for patchouli lovers though, but not if you're looking for the really dank, hippy patchouli.
Heather 5/5
I am enjoying this fragrance quite a bit. I love the scent of patchouli but understand that it is polarizing. Good news is that this is a patchouli scent that even the most staunch patchouli hater could enjoy. It is not what you expect. The name kinda gives you an expectation that you will be surprised to missed...in a good way. It isn't boozy in a negative way and it isn't heavy on the musky nature of patchouli. It's like two people having a child that has exhibited only the best genetic features of each parent. It smells masculine, but not overbearing. It is welcoming, slightly sweet. My wife loves it. There is something nostalgic about the scent, but unfamiliar at the same time. This scent smells just as good and appropriate in a suit as it does in a T-shirt and jeans.
Byron 4/5
It's absolute perfection in a bottle. If chypre is your fragrance preference, I'd give this a go. It's woody, but clean. And just earthy and sweet enough. I'm so excited I found this one!
Michelle 5/5
I received so many compliments on this fragrance. It was just warm enough to last all day but light enough have a bright freshness to it. I will definitely buy again.
Lisa 5/5
This fragrance is right up my alley personally. It starts with a strong clean woodsy scent and overtime as those notes fade you are then left with light sweet floral notes. In love with this and will be getting more!
Autumn 5/5
I was hesitant about this scent at first as I am not usual one for floral or fruity notes but this has the perfect bite to it which keeps it from being too sweet or feminine. a perfect in between. reminds me a lot of the scents at my local wiccan store and apothecary, so if you are into that opt for this scent.
Lio 5/5
All of the notes in my opinion mixed together very well! It was musky, spicy but also citrusy. As soon as I sprayed it on the card it came with, my boyfriend could smell it from across the room and he really liked it too. I would say this is more for fall time and I would definitely wear this for a night in cozying up on the couch or even going out to dinner. I liked the longevity and projection of it. I got way more use out of it if I put on unscented lotion prior to spraying this on my skin.
Brooke 4/5
The perfect boss bitch scent. When you don't want to be soft and floral or youthful and fruity this smoky almost masculine scent has tiny hints of floral to make the feminine notes pop. I feel like this could be worn by men and women.
Andrea 5/5
I’m craving this scent. It’s definitely named appropriately as it’s a drunken intoxication of patchou and maybe amber and citrus. I do like straight up patchouli oil, but this smell is way more refined. Hence why I wanted to try it. I’m a professional during the day, so wearing a sophisticated blend of my favorite smells that doesn’t come across like I’m ready for a Dead show.
Tracey 5/5
this was a great start. the strong floral/citrus presence cover the patchouli more than i personally would have liked, but if you enjoy those scents its a great pick. stayed on all day, didnt have to reapply and got me quite a few compliments at work! only downside for me is it has a pretty intense alcohol scent for a couple of hours after applying, but thankfully that fades after.
Charlie 4/5
Love, love , love it! Did I mention I love it? I get so many compliments when I wear it. It stays with me all day! Which is not something I can say about most perfumes. It adapts to what I am doing at the moment. Date night with my hubby, dinner with the girls or shopping on a Saturday afternoon with my daughter!
Melissa 5/5
This sent is very simple, yet sophisticated. It has a unique blend of patchouli and boozy notes that create a captivating and casual fragrance. It combines the earthy and aromatic scent of patchouli with a warm and inviting boozy aroma, giving it a relaxed and laid-back vibe. The fragrance is both seductive and comforting, making it perfect for casual occasions and everyday wear. I will definitely be purchasing this again!
