What does Pogostemon smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, and leisure and evening wear come up most often. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Votes for masculine and feminine are almost level, so it leans neither way.

Patchouli lays down an earthy, smoky ground, which vanilla and tonka bean sweeten, while cocoa adds a gourmand warmth. Bergamot and pink pepper keep a light spice and freshness running through it, and cedar and musk leave a woody, powdery trail. Ylang-ylang adds a soft floral touch.
