What does Patchouli Indonesia smell like?

The notes are bergamot, cedarwood and Indonesian patchouli. The bergamot brightens the earthy, resinous side of the patchouli, while the cedarwood gives it a woody frame. Spicy and oriental tones soften into sweetness, so the whole reads warm and full.

Most voters pick fall, then winter. It sits closer to leisure and evening wear, though it also works for business and nights out. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small. It falls between masculine and feminine, with votes split on which way it leans. Jean & Len Bergamot Cedarwood Scent Experience and Jo Malone Oud & Bergamot have a close profile.
