What does Intense Patchouli smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Though sold as unisex, voters find it more feminine than masculine. It has been discontinued.

It opens with patchouli, while lemon, lavender and sandalwood sit in the heart. In the base the patchouli returns, sweetened by vanilla absolute and white musk. The overall impression is gourmand and woody, with spicy and resinous touches. Nabeel Habibi Lil Abad and Czech & Speake Dark Rose have a close profile.
