PatchouliWhy it might work
- Light over deepLOULOU Joy brings citrus; Egoiste brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Egoiste in fall and winter and LOULOU Joy in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Egoiste is long lasting and strong, LOULOU Joy long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEgoiste first, then LOULOU Joy over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
