Essence de Patchouli (Eau de Parfum)

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good. Most pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and reads feminine to most voters, though a fair number find it masculine.

Geranium and rose open it, with iris at the heart. The base is dominated by patchouli, labdanum absolute, vanilla and musk, while cedarwood and gaiac wood add a dry, earthy floor. The scent is powdery and spicy, settling into a resinous sweetness.
