I bought this on Tuesday in London.
Its patchouli aftershave made by Santa Maria Novella of Florence
The shop is at 1 Piccadilly Arcade London
The scent is lovely & not overpowering my skin likes this a lot .
The scent is available as a cologne & I was informed that the cologne is a longer lasting scent.
Its not cheap at £45 but I felt like spoiling myself.Attachment 203133Attachment 203138Attachment 203134Attachment 203135Attachment 203136Attachment 203137
Probably go well with Valobra patchouli shave soap.

If you like patchouli, please check out Village Barber aftershave balm. A wonderful balm with a terrific patchouli scent.
Thanks for the heads up, I'll look out for it when I start running out.
Cheers Paul
You can also get a tiny bottle of the concentrated oil for real cheap and it lasts for ever. Any place that has essential oils will have it.
Thanks mate I'll look out for that.
Cheers Paul
I'm a patchouli addict. Love all things patchouli and always on the lookout for more.
Agreed - as Bob mentioned, the Valobra patchouli shave soap is very nice, triple milled soap so a very hard puck, going to order some of that aftershave next week...patchouli addict, add me to the list! :DQuote:

All I smelt was ...burnt plastic. It's not for me.
In these parts, patchouli screams "I haven't showered in a week, but the scent of patchouli will disguise that fact". That is why I avoid patchouli at all cost.
I used to own a indoor growing store. You could always tell when the wanna be hippies came in. The store would smell like oil and BO for hours. They were also some of the dumbest customers I had. There were certain things you do not say what you are doing. They will get nicely asked to leave the store or if they do not comply they were removed anyways.
At the same time, I worked with University of Florida, FL DEA and a lot of commercial hothouse growers.
I tried the oil once, but it just reminded me of those folks
Mine just arrived, the aftershave is superb, very subtle, wife loves it, reminds her of my other favorite Givenchy AS, this one is a keeper - thanks for the suggestion! :)
Your welcomey friend.
Cheers Paul
