What does Patchouli Clouds smell like?
Patchouli leads from the top, and the heart adds cinnamon, rosewood, Indian jasmine sambac and Moroccan rose, pushing it towards the floral and spicy. The base of sandalwood and frankincense leaves an earthy, smoky warmth. The overall feel is oriental.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good by voters, though the number of votes is small. The warm, spiced build suits cooler weather, and it reads comfortably on men and women alike. Profumum Roma Patchouly and Frédéric Malle Portrait of a Lady (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
