What does Behold, Patchouli smell like?

It opens on clementine, bergamot, blood orange and neroli, a fresh, fruity citrus start. In the heart, honey, tonka, chocolate and cream soda pull it toward the gourmand side, while frankincense and amber add a resinous warmth. The base of sandalwood, musk and patchouli dries down woody and earthy.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is worn mostly for evenings, leisure and nights out. Votes for masculine and feminine are almost level, so it sits between the two. Hermès Elixir des Merveilles and Xerjoff Dhajala have a close profile.
