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

PatchouliWhy it might work
- Light over deepSublime brings citrus; Vani Noire brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot and vanilla, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadVanilla, amber, citrus and powdery run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Sublime is long lasting and moderate, Vani Noire moderate and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVani Noire first, then Sublime over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
