What does Fortitude smell like?

The scent leans sweet and gourmand, with tonka bean adding a creamy, powdery softness. Tobacco absolute and patchouli ground that sweetness in a spicy, woody, earthy base, leaving a smoky trail. The oriental side dominates.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it suits night-outs and evenings best, with some room for business and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine. Fortitude has been discontinued. Parfumerie Particulière Tonka Fever and Molinard Vanille Patchouli (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
