What does Forest Patchouli smell like?

Balsam fir and Siberian stone pine give it a fresh, resinous pine air. Patchouli lays an earthy ground beneath them, while spices and mistletoe sweeten and warm it slightly. The overall impression is green and woody, with a light sweetness behind.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it neither stays close to the skin nor fills a room. Most voters choose it for leisure, with daytime and evening wear following. It reads equally well on men and women. Stora Skuggan Hexensalbe and Profumum Roma Thundra have a close profile.
