What does Patchouli L'Eau / Eau de Patchouli smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring next, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. More voters call it feminine, though a good number read it as masculine.
Virginia cedar and patchouli open it, with sandalwood and labdanum in the heart. In the base, tonka bean, Bourbon vanilla, benzoin and tolu balm sweeten it into a warm, resinous finish, softened by white musk. The overall impression is earthy, slightly smoky and powdery.
