Patchouli Mania לעומת Red Tobacco

Patchouli Mania receives divided opinions from the patchouli-focused community. While some appreciate its cocoa-green patchouli profile and affordable price, most agree its sharp opening and disappointing performance pale in comparison to established patchouli classics like Nasomatto Pardon and Guerlain offerings, making it a pass for serious collectors.

Red Tobacco is praised for outstanding longevity and performance, with a beautiful warm, sweet drydown that improves significantly after the harsh opening. However, the community is divided on projection strength and questions the quality of the tobacco note itself, with many suggesting superior alternatives exist. It works best for those willing to tolerate a rough opening in exchange for all-day wear.
