"Hippie" fragrances

Any recommendations for perfumes that capture a 60s/ 70s feel? I think Lush's Karma smells quite hippieish

Something with Patchouli or Musk. Sorry, can't think of anything specific at the moment. Need to have a think.

Ha ha was going to say Lush Karma when I saw the title!

I have a cheapo called Warm Neroli from M&S which may fit the bill.

It's Neroli, Bergamot and Musk so it's hippy-ish but a bit fresher and sweeter than some. I like it.

Tempo by Diptyque. I didn't think I liked patchouli until I smelled it but it's changed my mind.

Patchouli oil, can you still buy it?

I had an Escada perfume in the 2000s called Ibiza Hippie which was pretty horrible in retrospect

Diptyque Tam Dao is a brilliant 70s style sandalwood. Other good sandalwoods are Le Jardin Retrouvé Sandalwood Sacre and Geo F Trumper Sandalwood.

For incensey hippy vibes try Commes Des Garcons Avignon, Papillon Perfumery Spell 125, 4160 Tuesdays Shazam.

Patchouli is used in thousands of fragrances but rarely on its own. You could try some of the Al Rehab rollerballs you can get on Amazon. There are good patchouli, sandalwood and oud ones for not much money.

Lush Lord of Misrule is Patchouli, Pepper and Vanilla

Pretty much any of the 1969 fragrances but especially Villa Nellcote (named after the villa that the Rolling Stones used for recording) nineteen-sixtynine.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAhf2MBhDNARIsAKXU5GRYwGja5ue8mM31cpYE801cutoBBmjhzTX0Pj24gdGnmMM_WAOtgxAaAlRVEALw_wcB
