What does Cotton Mather (Perfume Oil) smell like?

Wood smoke, patchouli and moss form the backbone. Herbs add a green freshness, while fire and ash carry a smoky warmth; everlasting flower and ink stay in the background. The overall feel is earthy, woody and resinous, with spicy and sweet touches softening the smoke.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, and most who rated longevity scored it high, though the number of votes is small. As a unisex scent it suits men and women alike. It has been discontinued. Pineward Eldritch and Tom Ford Patchouli Absolu have a close profile.
