What does Patchouli smell like?

It opens with spices. The heart is patchouli and white amber, the earthy edge of the patchouli softened by amber into something sweet and powdery. Cedar and vetiver form a woody base underneath.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Voters place it in daily and leisure wear, at the office and in the evening, so it isn't tied to a single setting. It reads neither masculine nor feminine. Mugler A*Men Pure Coffee and Histoires de Parfums Ambre 114 have a close profile.
