What does Patchouli Ambré smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. It suits evenings and nights out, and also leisure time; few choose it for summer. It is unisex: voters split almost evenly between feminine and masculine.

It opens with patchouli, cedar and labdanum, and tolu balm and tree moss come forward in the heart. In the base, musk and vanilla soften and sweeten the patchouli. The overall feel is woody, resinous and earthy, with an animal edge. Jeroboam Miksado and Alexandre.J Oscent White have a close profile.
