What does Paris Manille smell like?

Pink pepper's spicy freshness and starfruit come first. In the heart, plum and davana carry a fruity sweetness, softened by floral and green accords. The base lays down an earthy, woody floor of patchouli, and white musk closes it with a powdery, creamy finish.

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and leisure, evening and night out lead the occasions. Most find it feminine, while some read it as classic or masculine. Pink Patchouli and Patchouli Blanc have a close profile.
