Ligne St Barth Patchouli Arawak suits cooler weather: most voters pick winter and fall, and lean towards evening and night-out wear; it is unisex, though it reads more feminine.

What does Patchouli Arawak smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. It also finds a place for leisure and daily wear, but evening is where it sits most. Most voters find it feminine, while those calling it masculine are a clear minority. It has been discontinued.

It opens with jasmine and orange blossom in a floral start. In the heart, rose meets Bengal patchouli, and the floral side settles onto an earthy, woody ground. In the base, oriental amber and musk carry it into a sweet, spicy, resinous warmth.
