What does Patchouli Nobile (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Most voters pick fall, then winter; spring follows closely and summer is the least chosen. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though daily and office wear are also possible. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as masculine, while a fair share find it feminine.
It opens with frankincense, white pepper and lemon, with fresh notes adding a light lift. The heart brings patchouli, cistus, gaiac wood and jasmine. In the base, tonka bean, amber, sandalwood, oakmoss and labdanum settle it onto a sweet, resinous, earthy ground.
