What does Lupin & Patchouli smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind and winter rarely chosen. It is worn mostly for leisure, daytime and the office, less often for evenings. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Votes for feminine and masculine are close, so it reads as in between.

The scent is fresh and green; rose and bluebonnet give the floral side, while mandarin orange lifts it. Patchouli adds a woody, earthy and lightly spicy depth that keeps the flowers from turning sweet. Diptyque Eau Capitale (Eau de Parfum) and Spiritual Sky (FR) Patchouli Rose have a close profile.
