What does Boss Collection - Cashmere Patchouli smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable up close without filling the room. It is described as a masculine scent from 2011, and it has been discontinued. Only a few voters have rated these qualities, so treat them as a rough guide.

It opens lightly with aromatic notes and an air accord, then patchouli comes forward. In the base, balsamic and earthy notes take over, and the accords mix spice, wood, resin, powder, smoke and a leathery touch. The result is warm, dry and oriental in character. The Body Shop Patchouli and Byredo Baudelaire have a close profile.
