What does Patchouly smell like?
Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and the evening and night out lead among occasions, while business wear is rarely chosen. Though unisex, it reads slightly more masculine than feminine.
Patchouli sits at the center, its earthy side softened by amber and sandalwood, while frankincense adds a resinous, smoky edge. The overall impression is sweet, warm and oriental. Parfums Vintage Sandal Amber and Evody Ambre Intense have a close profile.
