What does 9: Patchouli Monarque smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, and most voters give longevity a high mark. It does not lean masculine or feminine, so it suits anyone.

Heliotrope and immortelle open with a floral, green start. Patchouli and vetiver set an earthy core. Amber and labdanum in the base sweeten it and bring a resinous, creamy warmth, with spicy and oriental touches in the background.
