A tousled, sexy mix of patchouli, vanilla, and hemp.

Ooo, now I see what all the raving is about. This is a gorgeous, mingling balance of patchouli and a very thick, aged sweet vanilla. The rich sweetness of the vanilla takes any of the usual 'edge' away from the patchouli, softening it and rounding out the scent beautifully. This is unlike any patchouli I have ever smelled. I only get a very faint 'hemp' scent in the background, practically non-existent, but adding just a touch of sweet woody spiciness. Holy yum.

Banshee Beat is a gorgeous balancing act between vanilla, dark patchouli and hemp. The vanilla seems like a French vanilla to me and maybe that's the same as Bourban vanilla. I don't know. At different times and in different places I get more patchouli and a really lovely hemp note which almost makes me think of a light tobacco note. The whole blend is definitely more than the sum of its parts though. No wonder people went nuts for it! I'll be ordering the GC version when it appears in hopes it will be as awesome as this.

Well this scent is pretty much identical to my original Banshee Beat bottle. If I really think about it and compare it might have the tiniest bit more patchouli and hemp over vanilla. But I could be overthinking it. Overall it's the same thing. So glad I was able to snag my beloved. The label is the same, for some reason I thought it would say OG BB, but no big deal. ;)

So sexy-smelling! Patchouli can sometimes end up smelling like dirt or pencil erasers, but this patchouli is just scintillating and earthy. Magnetic.
