Community take

Yes, if you enjoy fresh floral scents with a strong patchouli element.

New York Patchouli is often described as a fresh and floral fragrance with a strong patchouli presence. Users note the opening is bright and fruity due to the bergamot and litchi, transitioning into a more floral heart with rose water and lilac. While some enthusiasts appreciate its unique blend and versatility for both day and night wear, others find the patchouli too dominant or the overall scent too sweet. It is generally recommended for spring and summer occasions, but some feel it can be worn year-round. A few users mention issues with longevity and projection, which can vary significantly.
