- Light over deepThis Is Really Him! brings citrus; Moonlight Patchouli brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody runs through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Moonlight Patchouli is moderate on both, This Is Really Him! moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMoonlight Patchouli first, then This Is Really Him! over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
