What does Patchouli Ink smell like?

Patchouli leads, with bergamot lifting it slightly while mimosa and vanilla add sweetness. Amaranth wood and ink build a woody, spicy, resinous frame, and white musk softens the whole.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for business and daily wear. Half of the voters read it as masculine, and some call it classic. Walden Perfumes A Different Drummer and Mancera Hindu Kush have a close profile.
