Ellie ★★★★★

The dry-down is where this really shines—the sandalwood and patchouli blend into a warm, earthy skin scent that lasts a good six hours on me. I’ve never smelled a jasmine note this subtle, it just adds a softness without going floral. Sprayed it on a scarf yesterday and it’s still faintly there this

Abigail B. ★★★★★

The bergamot top note hits bright and green, then settles into a deep, earthy patchouli that lasts through a full workday. I've gotten three compliments on it, and the sandalwood base keeps it from feeling too heavy for summer.

Michael ★★★★★

The dry-down is where this really shines—that sandalwood softens the patchouli just enough to keep it from turning sharp. I've worn it on humid days and it holds on for hours without becoming cloying, which is rare for a cologne this light.
