Why it might work

Light over deepPetra brings aromatic and citrus; Aurica brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
Notes in commonBoth list patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadAromatic and warm spicy run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Aurica is long lasting and moderate, Petra moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointAurica first, then Petra over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
