إنسيدنت دبلوماتيك • جوفوي

The mandarin and nutmeg give it a spicy, bright opening that softens into that earthy patchouli beautifully. Lasts a solid 6 hours on my skin, which is plenty for an evening out.

The vetiver keeps this from turning into a heavy patchouli bomb, and I get a bright mandarin opening that lasts longer than I expected. Wore it to dinner and could still catch the sandalwood on my sleeve the next morning.

The patchouli here is earthy and a bit dirty at first spray, which I actually liked once the mandarin burned off after twenty minutes or so. Only gripe is the vetiver keeps it a little sharp on my skin for the first hour, but by evening it settles into something warm and resinous.
