What does Patchouli smell like?

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only indicative. It reads as masculine, heavy and warm.

The top opens with black pepper, cardamom and nutmeg, with petitgrain adding a slight green edge. In the heart, jasmine sambac, Indian rose and ylang-ylang bring a soft floral touch. The base sets an earthy, smoky, leathery foundation with patchouli, suede, frankincense and oakmoss. Odin New York 12 Lacha and Tiziana Terenzi Nero Oudh have a close note and accord profile.
