^^Oh wow, how cool is that! I wonder what she paid for it. She doesn't even give a hint. She says it's not dirty hippy, which I think of as the sharpest notes, based on, well... I guess my hippy days :)  I could be wrong about that, and say it lightly based on my experiences when a teenager and college student. I was just a kid during the real-deal era.


I bought an Indonesian Dark patchouli 2 1/4 two years ago (see here). It is relatively earthy and without those sharpest notes either. Maybe that's the difference between light and dark, I don't know.  I still have about 1/3 of a 16 oz bottle left and try to use it sparingly. Luckily, a little goes a long way since it's so expensive. But I will not hesitate to buy another big bottle when this one runs out. As a hobbyist I don't say that about too many fragrances (lavender EO is another, but it's more risky due to variability). Small quantities of something you love is not wise financially $$




Oh my! You've either mixed herbs in there or you've been smoking some!


JK. But I'm at a loss to explain your experience.  Well, everyone's skin is different, I suppose their noses are too.
