- Opposite seasonsVoters put Boutonniere No. 7 in spring and Patchouli Ink in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Boutonniere No. 7 is moderate on both, Patchouli Ink long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPatchouli Ink first, then Boutonniere No. 7 over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
