EarthyWhat does White Patchouli smell like?
It opens bright with bergamot, white peony and coriander. Jasmine, rose and ambrette seed give the heart a soft floral feel. The base of frankincense, patchouli and woods adds a woody, slightly oriental footing.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Most votes read it as feminine, though a fair share see it as masculine. Yves Rocher Secrets d'Essences - Iris Noir and Reghen's Patchouly Blanc have a close profile.
