What does Patchouli Sauvage smell like?
Longevity and sillage both rate as good, and most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter. It leans towards leisure, nights out and evenings, and its character reads mostly masculine and classic.
It opens with pink pepper, grapefruit and bergamot, bright and lightly spiced. In the heart, labdanum, patchouli and dried fruits add a sweet, resinous depth. The base of tonka bean, sandalwood, Java vetiver, amber and cedarwood settles into a warm, woody finish.
