EarthyWhat does Patou pour Homme Privé smell like?
Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage good. Voters read it as masculine and score it highly, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a first impression.
The scent is fresh and green at the start, with bergamot and lavender giving a clean opening. In the heart, sandalwood, patchouli and hay build a woody, earthy, powdery base, and vanilla softens it with a creamy sweetness at the end. Spicy and floral touches stay in the background. Sabon P.L.V.28 and Lalique pour Homme Lion (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
