PatchouliWhy it might work
- Light over deepMarylebone Wood brings aromatic; LouLou brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadPowdery, amber, warm spicy and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: LouLou is long lasting and strong, Marylebone Wood long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLouLou first, then Marylebone Wood over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
