Nishane Patchuli Kozha

Mostly dark, earthy and slightly sweet, the classic seventies note. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on chamomile, artemisia and ylang-ylang, moves through patchouli and black pepper, and settles on honey, incense and leather.

• artemisia: bitter silvery herb, sharp and slightly camphorous. Wormwood, the absinthe plant
• ylang-ylang: rich yellow flower, sweet and faintly banana-like with a creamy finish

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
