Le Labo Patchouli 24 est un parfum polarisant avec une ouverture notoirement difficile qui sent le BBQ, la fumée et le caoutchouc brûlé avant de se transformer en une agréable base de musc vanillé fumé plusieurs heures plus tard. Bien que les fans dédiés apprécient son caractère audacieux et primaire ainsi que ses belles notes de fond, beaucoup trouvent l'ouverture prolongée et désagréable ainsi que le prix élevé difficiles à justifier, certains suggérant des alternatives plus accessibles qui évitent entièrement les notes de tête désagréables.
