OrientalWhat does Patchouli 1973 smell like?
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night-out wear leading and leisure use further behind. It doesn't lean clearly masculine or feminine; it sits in between.
The top is lavender and orange, giving a citrusy, green first impression. The heart is led by patchouli, geranium and cinnamon, where the floral side is balanced by spice and earth. Musk, amber and sandalwood soften the base into a woody, resinous and slightly smoky warmth.
