I am a child of the hippy era- and thus a patchouli expert :>- this patchouli based perfume is just not very inviting- very musky  and almost "musty". — I do know that perfume works differently on everyone, based on body chemistry, so try some at the Lush store if you can-perhaps patchouli just loses its' magic on world weary skin??  The bottle is too expensive to order via web and then be disappointed....

Label says use once weekly for dry skin- but my Midwest middle aged skin does fine with 2-3 times weekly. — Leaves skin soft and smooth, but exfoliated. — Pricey-  $16.95 USD for 4.2 oz.- but lasts a long time- approx 1/2 tsp. does my face. Works great on knees, feet- but too pricey for me to use on body regularly. — Rinse thoroughly - drying salt sticks in hair otherwise. — Keep in frig in summer- use cold for refreshing scrub. — In winter, if you can't afford to go to Aruba, this is a  great tropical reminder. (Of course, Aruba would be a hundred times better than face scrub, but what can you do???? ) — ...
