Jovan Fresh Patchouli

[AlthaeaSoaps]

I just found some of this at a flea market in town and bought a bottle. Am impressed by how lovely it is! Lovely, green grassy note with an herbal freshness that reminds me of a gentle combination of fir, balsam and lime, the patchouli in this smells less earthy and more 'leaves ripped straight from the plant' which is a smell I know first-hand, since I grow it. I went outside and pulled some leaves to compare straight away, and yep - there it was. Patchouli with the sap still on. I love this stuff, a patchouli that truly is fresh enough to wear in the summer heat. Has anyone else tried it? It's hard to find, to be sure.

I've actually tried this. They have it at Wal-Mart every once in awhile. I have patchouli essential oil when I want to wear patchouli, so I've never bought a bottle of the Jovan. I agree it is quite nice though.

Jovan is sold in most of the drug stores in Germany so I will look for this. I confess a guilty affection for their musk oil (original formula). Thanks for the tip!
