It opens with patchouli and Virginia cedar, giving an earthy, dry woody footing. In the heart, nutmeg and dried fruits add a spicy, lightly sweet fruitiness. In the base, amber, musk and vanilla soften everything into a creamy, resinous warmth.
Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good, and they score its value for money high, though the number of votes is small, so these are only a rough guide. Alexandria Fragrances Egyptian Angel and Or Liquide So Patchouli have a close profile.
