Wear it with a clear conscience?
Perfumes are ultimately luxury products - no one really 'needs' them, even if life is much nicer with them. And precisely because of this, more serious issues such as sustainability, fair working conditions and animal welfare are often ignored. Sana Jardin has - at least according to their own statement - dedicated themselves to exactly these. For example, orange blossom, jasmine and rose are harvested by Moroccan women, the absolues used for the brand's fragrances, but also 'waste' produced by them in the process is processed into floral water and candles, giving the women an additional income. All of Sana Jardin's products are also made without animal testing. Far too rarely do manufacturers commit themselves to social and ecological standards and I must admit that I have not dealt with them enough so far - in contrast to the reference to food or clothing for example.
As 'heavenly' I would not necessarily call Celestial Patchouli, but the fragrance seems to me very natural and high quality. The only, but for me already quite large downer is the initially strong leather note, which consequently steals the show from the patchouli. I rarely like leather and it can spoil a fragrance or two for me. Despite this presence, I feel somewhat reminded of Chanel's Coromandel (not only because of the notes given). The soft patchouli, the warm, slightly creamy sandalwood, the light resinousness and spiciness also blend here to create a sensual fragrance experience. At the same time, Celestial Patchouli is not as powdery as Coromandel, which doesn't seem floral to me by contrast. (Iris is not a decidedly floral note for me - after all, the scent comes from its root) Rose and osmanthus, which also has a leathery facet, were used by Carlos Benaim but also in rather moderate doses.
The leather plays in my opinion rather a role as a top note and fades with time, so that even more the warm base notes can unfold. On my skin, the fragrance even makes a pretty big transformation, because it becomes softer and chocolaty - much more than Coromandel - and yet not too sweet / gourmandig.
A loud perfume Celestial Patchouli is not, by the way, but over a few hours evenly perceptible. In a test I had about nine to ten hours before three sprays applied and then made sports and immediately I could smell the scent again. So there is no question of a moderate shelf life. Like Coromandel, I see Celestial Patchouli clearly as a unisex fragrance that should definitely be tested on the skin and with sufficient patience.
