What does Van Py Rhum smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, so it makes its presence known. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits comfortably on either.

It opens with several kinds of vanilla, rum and tonka bean together. Towards the heart, caramel and white blossoms soften the sweetness while patchouli adds an earthy note. In the base, Indonesian patchouli and oud stay alongside rum and vanilla, leaving a spicy, creamy, woody trail. Lorenzo Pazzaglia Van Exstasyx and French Avenue X Xandal have a close profile.
