What does Patchouli in Rye smell like?

Pink pepper and nutmeg bring spice from the start, while mandarin orange and Madagascan geranium lighten it a little. Patchouli lays down an earthy base, labdanum adds a resinous warmth and vanilla adds sweetness. The floral and woody sides stay in balance.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, autumn and winter, with summer well behind, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. Feminine and masculine votes run close, so it suits either. Profumum Roma Dincanto and MiN New York Shaman have a close profile.
