Does anyone know of anything similar to this PG fragrance?

I love it but longevity is abysmal, 1-2 hours max from 4-5 sprays to the same wrist . It is only ever a skin scent also. I am hesitant to buy a full bottle at the moment because of this.

Whilst on the PG subject, Intrigant Patchouli sounds interesting but is it different enough from Coze to warrant a sniff?

Thanks!

What do you like about L'Eau Guerriere? This fragrance gets several different perceptions. Some people (including myself) get a bitter, sort of resinous, green aldehyde/cannabis accord paired with a musky base. Others get mainly woods...It will help to give you more specific suggestions...

In the first case, you should probably give a chance to Kinski. In the second case I'd suggest Comme Des Garcons Standard which is a minimalistic cedarwood fragrance with an incensey vibe.

I find Intrigant Patchouli enough different from Cozè to be worth checking out. Cozè is a modern take on patchouli which pairs the earthy easpect of the main element with a "dirty"-gourmandic twist. It has an extremely solid woody base which is just beatiful. Intrigant Patchouli is more sort of classic french perfumery. Patch + powder + civet: simply great!

Thanks AR I love the (very light!) bitter resinous aspect of L'eau Guerriere.
