In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Dermacol Sweet Jasmine and Patchouli delivers a sunny, candied white floral punch that punches far above its price tag.

Reviews →

Imagine by Jean Louis Vermeil brings back the bold, fruity green spirit of 1989. It opens with sharp black currant and tart pineapple before settling into a deep base of oakmoss and patchouli. This fragrance suits collectors who love complex, vintage woody florals that perform well in cool autumn weather.
