What does Patchouli Magique smell like?

Both its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, followed by evenings and nights out. More voters call it feminine than masculine, though the masculine share is sizeable. It is the least likely to be chosen for summer days.

Lemon and bergamot open with a brief freshness, then labdanum, sandalwood, frankincense and patchouli take over the heart. Vanilla and musk soften the base. Overall it is a powdery, slightly smoky oriental where gourmand sweetness meets spicy, resinous and earthy tones. Technique Indiscrète Santa Subita and Chanel Le Lion de Chanel have a close profile.
