How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Encore, blue is Antigua. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

PatchouliWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenEncore brings floral; Antigua brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list musk, vanilla and bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus, woody and sweet run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Encore is very weak and intimate, Antigua moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEncore first, then Antigua over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
