What does Patchouli Antique (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend autumn and winter, with spring a distant second and summer well behind. It is chosen mainly for evenings and nights out, and it also works for leisure. Voters split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it doesn't sit firmly on one side.

It opens with frankincense, and patchouli and Texas cedar lead the heart. In the base, amber, vanilla and benzoin sweeten it while oak wood keeps the woody side. Spicy and smoky tones add weight to this warm, oriental picture. Parfums Vintage Sandal Amber and Profumum Roma Patchouly have a close profile.
