Clemence

Patchouli, Kashmiri tea, cardamom, black pepper, carnation, and clove.

So I got this hoping that the clove wasn't too prominent, since I love all of the other notes. No such luck, but she's growing on me anyway. The clove does soften out after about an hour and the scent seems a bit creamier. At that point, I can pick out the carnation. But yeah, the first hour is a strong battle between the patchouli and the clove. Since patchouli and clove oils work well as insect repellants, I've been layering her over pure patchouli oil to soften the blow a bit. It really seems to work.
