What does Patchouli smell like?

Pink pepper and black pepper give it a sharp, spicy start. In the heart, violet leaf, iris and white rose add a soft, powdery floral touch. Labdanum and patchouli form a sweet, woody, earthy base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by winter and spring, and it leans toward evenings, nights out and leisure time. Voters read it as both feminine and masculine, so it sits comfortably in between.
