What does Series Luxe: Patchouli (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer a small minority. It is chosen mostly for leisure, nights out and evenings. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though from a small number of votes. Although it is a unisex scent, most voters read it as masculine. It has been discontinued.

Read as a whole, patchouli and oakmoss lead, cedarwood gives a woody frame, and white pepper adds spice. Vanilla and soy bean soften the edges a little. The overall impression is dry, resinous and chypre-like.
