We don’t keep it a secret that we are in the camp of patchouli lovers. We are aware that patchouli can be somewhat polarizing. Those that tend to dislike it describe it as smelling like dirt, dirty unwashed bodies, swampy, etc. Those that do like it describe a sweetish, earthy, spicy quality. How can we bridge this gap so that everyone can enjoy? Satya Patchouli Forest does just that. Like most Satya incenses, it has a semi-sweet, amber, vanilla base, but Satya Patchouli Forest is a bit sweeter than the average Satya and it has a very carefully measured, earthy component of dark Indonesian patchouli. It’s such a light element that even those who tend to dislike patchouli can still appreciate this selection. Of Satya’s patchouli incenses, this is certainly the sweetest offering. For something drier, Satya Patchouli would be a thought, or drier still, Satya 60’s Patchouli would be the way to go. As they get drier in fragrance, the more noticeable the patchouli becomes. Satya Patchouli Forest offers a perfectly balanced fragrance that is sweet enough for even those who are not fans of patchouli, but for those that do love patchouli, it’s heavenly.
