What does Patchouliful smell like?

Most voters point to fall and winter, with spring not far behind and summer a minor pick. It leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out, while still working for business and daily wear. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Masculine and feminine votes are level, so it sits comfortably between the two.

Cinnamon, bergamot and clove open it with a warm, spicy lift. At the heart are orris absolute, frangipani and patchouli, where the floral side is softened by earthy patchouli. Musk, cedarwood and cistus build a sweet, resinous, woody base. Atelier des Ors Iris Fauve and Serge Lutens Cèdre have a close profile.
