Why it might work
  • Light over deepBois de Cedrat brings citrus; Patchouli Riviera brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadWoody, aromatic, amber and citrus run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Patchouli Riviera in fall and summer and Bois de Cedrat in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Patchouli Riviera is moderate on both, Bois de Cedrat weak and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
