What does Patou pour Homme (1980) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Virginia cedar, Malabar pepper and Bourbon vetiver lead, while clary sage and pimento keep it spicy and green and Mysore sandalwood softens the woody base. Alongside its chypre and fougère character there is a resinous, animal roughness.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen more for nights out and evenings. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. Perfumes with a close profile include Aramis Aramis Special Blend and Arquiste Nanban.
