What does Patchouli Noir / Patchouly Noir smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening or a night out; it also works for leisure time. It doesn't lean clearly masculine or feminine, with votes split almost evenly between the two.

Patchouli, cocoa and vanilla lead, with the sweetness resting on an earthy, smoky base. Cedarwood adds a woody frame, while mint and poppy loosen this dark blend a little. The spicy and resinous sides give it an oriental weight. Kilian Straight to Heaven, White Cristal and Réminiscence Patchouli have a close profile.
