I sampled the whole Meo Fusciuni line and chose 5 of my favorites on paper to wear on skin; this was one of them.

Narcotico was my least favorite of the 5 favorites if that makes sense. On paper I enjoyed it a bit more, but on skin, the earthy patchouli went a bit muddy at times. It’s dense and dry, dark and daring, with just a bit of sweetness pushing back. That being said, I wished that the benzoin, vanilla and tonka would give a bit more of a contrast for the patchouli.

For a more dark, ‘gothic’ fragrance, I like it, but it’s not my style.
