What does Lei smell like?

In the top, lemon and Calabrian bergamot give the scent a fresh first impression. The heart turns to laudanum, cocoa, patchouli and vanilla, where it sweetens and picks up a spicy, resinous warmth. In the base, vetiver, Texas cedar and sandalwood lay down a woody, slightly earthy foundation, softened by powdery and animal tones.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it is chosen mainly for evenings and nights out. Most find it feminine, though a good number call it classic. Histoires de Parfums Ambre 114 and Nóvaya Zaryá Patchouli Magique have a close profile.
