About This Perfume
Alyssa Ashley Essence de Patchouli comes across as powdery rose-patchouli incense in soft vanilla smoke. It opens with geranium and rose, moves into iris and settles on musk, patchouli and vanilla. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for nights out. Released in 2009.
Wearers report that it lasts through a full day, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and powdery for nights out.
- Sample first if: spicy is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike oriental fragrances.
Around $23.
