I’ve never smelled it on you! You must not wear much. Little brothers can be massive dickheads, especially when they’re the “more respectable” sibling. I’ve been unemployed for decades, and my bro is an attorney 😅

You made me laugh out loud 👏🏽, thank you! I hated patchouli in college and started wearing it later💚

I never knew from patchouli. I thought that musk scent was the only no-no. I wonder what guys are doing or have been doing in this category. I never really thought about it. I'll ask!

I'm with you absolutely! Patchouli has been my choice from my first protest march in the 60's, and still. It's distinctive and it gets noticed. Unlike a friend of mine who still wears Shalimar, a familiar but dated fragrance. I like your style, honey, always have.

Yeah! Never thought I’d read something as sweet as the smell of patchouli… I happened to love it too! ♥️

I'm with you on this, Jessica. I started wearing patchouli oil in 1967. These days, I tend to reserve it for its mosquito-repellent properties during outdoor activities in the Georgia summertime, but I still love the scent.

This is a revelation! My best friend wore it through the 70s, but I only get a whiff of it now and then today. I'll bring some for the gnats. Won't ziplining chase them away?!

I have already told you my thoughts on the issue, but ftr, I am in your brother’s camp. Patchouli is a great deterrent for bugs and people.
