What does Patchouli (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with cedarwood and patchouli, and vetiver and sandalwood in the heart keep that woody footing. Vanilla, tonka bean and white musk sweeten the base, while a smoky shade lies over the sweet, spicy and resinous accords.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is favoured for evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure. Votes for feminine and masculine are close, so it sits between the two. Réminiscence Le Patchouli (Eau de Toilette Intense) and Réminiscence L'Incroyable Patchouli have a close profile.
