What does Patina smell like?

It opens with ylang-ylang, honey, mango and cedarwood, so the floral and fruity side is sweet from the start. In the heart, myrrh, gaiac wood, gurjum balsam and iris add a spicy, resinous depth. The base of benzoin, sandalwood and vanilla carries it into a creamy sweetness.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer chosen by few. It leans towards nights out and evenings. Voters read it as slightly more masculine than feminine, though many call it feminine.
