What does Patchouly (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens cool, with bergamot, peppermint, lavender and Florida orange, while cypress and sagebrush add a dry, green edge. The heart is led by patchouli, rose and Mysore sandalwood, and the base of musk, amber, frankincense and vanilla settles into a resinous, smoky warmth.

Most voters find the longevity good and the sillage moderate. Autumn and winter are the favoured seasons, with evening and leisure wear leading. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine. Its profile is close to Profumum Roma Patchouly and Parfums Vintage Sandal Amber.
