Le Labo Patchouli 24 ist ein polarisierendes Parfüm mit einem berüchtigten, schwierigen Auftakt, der nach Grill, Rauch und verbranntem Gummi riecht, bevor er sich Stunden später in einen angenehmen rauchigen Vanille-Moschus-Abgang verwandelt. Während engagierte Fans seinen kühnen, primitiven Charakter und die schönen Basisnoten schätzen, finden viele den langen, rauen Auftakt und den hohen Preis schwer zu rechtfertigen. Mehrere Nutzer schlagen zugänglichere Alternativen vor, die die unangenehmen Kopfnoten ganz vermeiden.
