A good first introduction to patchouli
Patchouli Berry is just that - a sweet berry scent mixed with patchouli.
The berry scent is a lot stronger than the patchouli note in my opinion, at least on the onset. For the majority of the fragrance's life, the two are balanced. Oddly enough, it is the berry note that I have the most problem with. While not offensive, the berry note leans artificial and borderline plasticky if too much is sprayed.
The patchouli is very earthy and not at all green. It balances out the sweetness of the berry and grounds the fragrance very well. The patchouli note gets more prominent as the berry scent begins to fade throughout time.
As with many other Pacifica perfumes, the longevity is average to below average. Depending on the weather, you can expect to get anywhere from 2-4 hours out of Himalayan Patchouli Berry, even on clothes.
This fragrance is best suited for those looking for a summer fragrance that is fruity, not floral, but still has another note to round the fragrance out.
I would not classify this fragrance as safe for the office due to the prominent patchouli note, since many associate patchouli with hippies and the wearer may get some negative comments from others with this prejudice.
I would most likely recommend this for a fun early evening out in the summer, such as to a festival or a party.
