What does New York Patchouli smell like?

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though only a small number of voters have rated them. Most voters pick spring, followed by autumn, and it suits leisure, work and daily wear, with some choosing it for evenings out.

The top opens bright and spicy with grapefruit, ginger, nutmeg and cardamom. In the heart, patchouli is softened by rose and pink orchid. The base of musk, leather, amber, sandalwood and oakmoss leaves a sweet, woody warmth. Ferragamo Subtil pour Homme and Armaf Excellus Men have a close profile.
