What does Patchouli Nosy Be (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Lemon flashes briefly at the start, then pink pepper adds spice in the heart. As it dries, cocoa, vanilla absolute and patchouli take over; labdanum, musk and amber turn the sweetness resinous and warm, while cedarwood and sandalwood set a woody base. The overall feel is oriental, earthy and slightly smoky.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it is chosen most for evenings and nights out. Masculine and feminine votes are equal, so it sits comfortably between the two. Its profile is close to M. Micallef Aoud Gourmet and Les Essentiels Patchouli.
