What does Sopoku smell like?

It opens with ylang-ylang, rose, frangipani, star anise and kaffir lime, so the floral side is lit by citrus and spice. In the heart, gardenia, tuberose, allamanda and green tea carry the flowers on, while vanilla, sandalwood and patchouli add a woody, earthy weight to the sweetness. Arborvitae, vanilla, patchouli and sandalwood remain at the base.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the vote count is small, so that should be read with caution. The scent is full and warm, with no leaning toward masculine or feminine. Ijen Scent Sopoku V2 and Ex Nihilo Patchouli Memory have a close profile.
