Vintage buses, patchouli-scented clothes, and the smell of fresh mangoes bought at a roadside stall in 1970. 1970 Hippie Trail captures the bohemian nostalgia of the era. It mixes the Mango and Sandalwood DNA with Aged Patchouli and Sun-bleached Cotton. It is polished, cozy, and timeless.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Earth and Nectar
The scent opens with Bitter Bergamot. The heart is Wild Mango and Hemp Accord. The base is Aged Patchouli and Sandalwood. It is smooth and warm.
