What does Le Gemme - Gyan smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend autumn, winter and spring, with summer a small minority. It is chosen most often for evenings and nights out, though business and daily wear also have a place. Although unisex, most voters read it as masculine.

Three notes carry it: jasmine sambac absolute, bergamot and Indonesian patchouli. A fresh, floral start softens into sweet, spicy warmth. Woody, oriental and resinous accords bring out the earthy, smoky patchouli character. Perfumes with a close profile include The Merchant Of Venice Patchouli Indonesia and Sana Jardin Tiger by Her Side.
