What does Patchouli Aromatique smell like?

It is built from patchouli, sage and vetiver absolute. Fresh and green accords lead, while the spicy, resinous and earthy side balances them. A touch of sweetness and a creamy softness keep the woody frame from turning harsh.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it sits easily at work, in leisure and in daily wear, with evening and night-out use also named. Voters lean towards reading it as feminine. Honoré Payan Patchouli 1854 and Zielinski & Rozen Moss have a close profile.
