This is a rich, high-class, musky, and leathery patchouli that, to me, skews masculine (I am a woman) and that I love to wear. It is not sweet, and, thankfully has no berry notes. Projection, sillage and tenacity are all moderate to good/very good. This scent feels best for evenings, cooler weather, and grown-ups. (Or perhaps I’m just trying to scare off a younger market because I don’t want to share it with those I don’t think are sophisticated enough to appreciate it…in any event, it does NOT have a “youthful” vibe. At all. I find this scent very sexy whilst also being deeply comforting. IMHO, the Italians do patchouli the best, and Lorenzo Villoresi’s is outstanding.
