Patchouli

It opens with a fresh soft spicyness with patchouli, cardamom with a dose of pepper and it smells very nice. The patchouli is very earthy and low key, it never overwhelms but is subtlely blended amongst other notes but is still the spicy heart of the fragrance. I can pick up some florals in the midnotes mixing with the earthy spicy patchouli which is probably what is giving the scent that freshness in the opening. In the basenotes you can smell the earthy patchouli on a light bed of Frankincense and I have to say it smells really nice . The marketing is spot on with this scent as I find it sensual & mysterious and also a bit sexy, a good light spicy modern barbershop cologne that never overwhelms or outstays it's welcome. I get about five hours in longevity and it has arm length projection. Another Murdock winner for me and this is going straight into my rotation, I just love the modern barbershop style of this house where the fragrances are clean,masculine and can be worn anywhere and at anytime. A big thumbs up from me!

It's a dusty patch for hot weather, love it!

Opens with an earthy/dusty patchouli supported by cardamom. Then, some citrus and florals will give some freshness, before the drydown where the patchouli reappears supported by a nice incense and cedar. Unisex. Some will define it as a "dirty style" patchouli enlighted by ylang-ylang and fresh florals, others as an "hippie patch". Very nice, even if a bit thin in structure, and the projection is a bit too weak given the price point (longevity as a skin scent is great though). That said, with a good discount, it may be worth it! Spring days, 20+

If you like Patchouli, I would definitely recommend having this in your collection. There’s a hint of black pepper and green notes, maybe some earthy undertones. But that quickly gives way to the patchouli. After wearing on skin for a while you do get a hint of suede on the dry down. This is for sure what I would call a mature sent. No offense to the younger crowds, but I can really only see this being worn by the older folk. Mom’s dad’s uncles aunts grandma and grandpa. Nothing wrong with that at all. Solid 7.5/10 from me.

While the patchouli gets somewhat lost in the complex, but traditional, opening, you'll find yourself catching the patchouli reasserting itself indefinitely. I grabbed a shirt that I hadn't worn in weeks and found myself wondering who was wearing that nice patchouli cologne. Spoilers, it was me and that was just from a little overspray.
