Fragonard Patchouli is a unisex scent that opens fresh and settles into a sweet, spicy, earthy patchouli heart, and it suits autumn and winter best.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable up close without filling a room. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, with summer trailing behind. Daily wear, business, leisure and evening all get similar support. Voters lean towards calling it masculine, though a fair share see it as feminine.
The top is ginger, bitter orange and Paraguayan petigrain, which gives a bright start. The heart brings patchouli, caraway and rose, adding an earthy, spicy edge. In the base, tonka bean sweetens the scent while cedar and musk leave a powdery, woody footing, with floral and resinous touches running through.
