What does Moonlight Patchouli Le Parfum smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, and most voters find them strong, though the number of votes is small, so these impressions are tentative. As a unisex fragrance it reads warm and full, suiting men and women alike.
It opens with bergamot and spices for a citrusy, slightly sharp start. Bulgarian rose adds a soft floral heart, and the base is dominated by amber, suede and patchouli. The dry-down runs sweet, creamy, earthy and faintly leathery.
