Description & review snapshot

Khalifa by Ariana & Evans is a dark oriental woody fragrance built around raw hashish, burning incense, and wood resin.

Reviews →

Patchami opens with a dry puff of incense and a heavy dose of dark tobacco, immediately signaling its woody and warm character. As it sits on the skin, the fragrance softens into an earthy patchouli backed by a smooth, quiet vanilla. It fits those who prefer rustic, direct scents for cool evening wear.
