What does Patchouli Original / Patchouli Antique smell like?

It opens with cedar, myrrh and myrtle alongside patchouli, giving a green, spicy start. In the heart, sandalwood and tree moss set the patchouli on a woody footing, and vanilla and musk soften and sweeten it at the base.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and leisure, night out and evening lead the occasions. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, which keeps it unisex. Les Ecuadors Patchouli Ancien and Jehanne Rigaud Patchouli Premier have a close profile.
