...Thank you. That's really helpful. What I think I'll suggest to my sister is that she gets samples of some 'likely suspects' including your suggestions, and lets her husband experiment and make his own choice with her. I know that's what I'd want if someone was planning a perfume gift for me (if only!).

...My brother in law adores patchouli, and my sister would like to buy him a perfume for Christmas. She’s not into perfume, and I’m not much of a fan of patchouli, so I’m hoping for recommendations here from people who are. Any suggestions? Budget is up to around £200. Thank you!
