Zum Mist Lavender Lemon Patchouli

The lavender note here is strong and aromatic like that of Calvin Klein’s Obsessed or even Ariana Grande’s R.E.M. Unfortunately, it does wear off somewhat quickly, along with the lemon note. However, you’re left with a chocolatey patchouli note like the one in Reminiscence’s Patchouli that lasts for about four hours- a bit more if you practically bathe yourself in it. Since the patchouli is the real focus of the show, I wouldn’t recommend this for patchouli haters. It lasted about four hours on my skin, but almost a day on fabric. I’ve taken to using it as a linen spray since it doesn’t stain AND it helps the smell linger longer in my room.

I use this for two things - one, it’s an amazing car freshener scent that lasts a long time. Two, I use it on my body in humid southern summers because it is FABULOUS at keeping bugs away, from mosquitoes to gnats/no-see-ums I remain blissfully bug free all summer as long as I spray this before leaving the house. So much safer than the usual DEET offerings and more effective, I find, than Picardin.
