What does Patchouli Mania smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, then winter and spring, with summer well behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, though it also works for daily and office use. Most voters read it as masculine, yet it stays unisex.

The top of coriander seed, green hazelnut and davana gives a fresh, spicy greenness. In the heart, tea, Clearwood™ and cocoa soften this and turn it woody. At the base, patchouli and vetiver lay down an earthy floor, while Cetalox® adds a clean, synthetic edge.
