What does Classic Patchouli smell like?

Most voters pick winter and fall, and it is chosen mainly for evenings and nights out. Longevity is rated strong and sillage moderate. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine, sitting evenly between the two.

Bergamot gives a brief fresh opening, then patchouli takes over in the heart. In the base, sandalwood, tonka bean and vanilla sweeten and soften it. The overall impression is spicy, resinous and earthy, with a faint smokiness in the background. Réminiscence L'Incroyable Patchouli and Georges Rech Oriental Dream have a close profile.
