What does Lui smell like?
Patchouli leads the opening. The heart is built from sandalwood, cedarwood and floral notes, while spices and citrus notes sit in the base. Resinous and earthy undertones soften the sweetness and give the whole a heavy, warm feel.
Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it suits evenings and nights out best, with far fewer picking it for the office. It reads masculine and classic. Vapormundum Electri and Harry Lehmann Singapore Patchouly have a close profile.
