I am a patchouli NUT….I’ve worn it every single day since 1975 (yeah, I’m an old hippie and I like it that way). I take my oils very seriously, and I’ve tried literally dozens of other brands of patchouli oil. NOTHING has even come close to Earth Solutions brand. It is strong, with a very organic smell… just a tiny, tiny drop on my chest will last all day long, and it scents my clothes, my furniture, my bed, anything I come in contact with— but unless you use too much, it doesn’t blow people out of the room, either. With patchouli, you either love it or hate it, and if you love it, buy this brand. You’ll be a convert for life and you’ll NEVER switch again.
