What does Patrick smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind and winter well behind. Daily wear, leisure and business settings lead the occasion votes. Just over half of voters call it masculine, and a good share also find it classic.

It opens with fougère notes, then softens at the heart into carnation, rose and other floral notes. The base of vetiver, patchouli, musk and moss gives it an earthy, woody footing. The overall impression is fresh, green and lightly spicy. Claus Porto 2 - Agua Geranium and Etro New Tradition have a close profile.
