What does Patchouli smell like?

It opens green and spicy with galbanum, juniper wood and black pepper, while Iris tingitana absolute adds a smooth floral edge. In the heart, angelica seed and ylang-ylang absolute soften the sharpness. Indonesian patchouli, Virginia cedar and amber dominate the base, settling the scent into a woody, resinous, earthy ground.

Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters split close to evenly between masculine and feminine, so it doesn't pull firmly in either direction.
