That is the patchouli branding of my nightmares. Upstate NY Grateful Dead-heads traveling through and a roommate with a penchant for "hippie chicks" turned me off of pure patchouli with a quick and decisive gag reflex... That's the early '90's, with the Dead's resurgence, when I used the running joke, "How do you hide money from a hippie? Put it under the soap!"
After some experimentation and some research I have come to realize that many of my favorite fragrances contain patchouli as a base note...My love for many of these frags(including Brut) has thusly changed my mind towards the idea of patchouli, but still...**shivers**
