Patchouli ginger beer? Patchouli ale? Is that what aldehydes smell like? Soda? Beer? I’m confused by this one. It doesn’t improve much on application, either. I am a patchouli fan, and this just doesn’t work. It really smells like a bitter, carbonated beverage made with patchouli… which I now believe isn’t something that should be done lol… It’s just a weird combo. It doesn’t smell “BAD” per se… I’m not disgusted, but I also don’t like it. I stuck it out to see what happened on the drydown, and I do have to say it improves, but only because the “aldehyde” slowly dissipates. That leaves a much-improved patchouli/ wood combo, and CP’s aged patchouli is particularly nice IMO. Skip that odd note altogether, and this would probably be wearable.
