Why it might work

  • Notes in commonBoth list agarwood (oud) and patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadOud, fresh spicy and woody run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for winter.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
