Patchouli can be very overpowering in perfumes, but when it's done right, it can make a scent feel earthy, warm, and deep. And that's the exact vibe of Patchouli 24 from Le Labo. To me, this smells quintessentially like a campfire. I can't necessarily pick out the patchouli note, but it overall just smells like woods, smoke, leather, and rain—basically, my dream. It's a bit too strong for me to wear all the time, but I've been known to spritz it on the men around me from time to time when I want them to smell like a sexy lumberjack.

• Key notes: Leather, patchouli, birch, tar, vanilla
• My rating: 3/5 on me, but 5/5 on my date

Glowing customer review: "If you're searching for an intense smoke bomb fragrance, this is it. This is definitely not an in-your-face herbal patchouli. This is much more toward the smoky, peaty, boozy side of things. This has been a signature fragrance for years and always garners compliments. This is heavy on the birch tar, which may not be for everyone, the initial blast is an intense smoky rubbery scent that cools down after a while into a slightly sweet bon fire kind of smell. One of my favorites and great for cold weather, in the summer I could see this being kind of BBQ-ish, but I still go for it."
