Is this a safe fragrance for the office?+−
Given its heavy sillage and smoky, leathery base notes like cade and castoreum, it may be too intense for small or professional office environments. It is better suited for leisure, evening wear, or outdoor settings.
How does the patchouli in this fragrance compare to traditional oils?+−
This is not a soliflore. While patchouli is the core, it is heavily modified by birch, cade, and resins. It smells more like a smoky, earthy leather jacket than the sweet or damp-cellar patchouli found in botanical oils.
How long does Patchouli of the Underworld typically last?+−
It is known for its high performance. Most wearers find it provides a full day of wear, with the resinous base notes staying detectable on clothing for several days.
Can this be worn in the summer?+−
Most community members find it too dense and spicy for high heat. Its earthy and leathery accords perform best in the crisp air of autumn or the cold of winter.
