PatchouliWhy it might work
- Notes in commonBoth list rose, jasmine, amber and musk and 1 more, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWarm spicy, powdery, amber and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put No. 1 Passant Guardant in spring and summer and Musc – Pure Essence in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: No. 1 Passant Guardant is eternal and enormous, Musc – Pure Essence eternal and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMusc – Pure Essence first, then No. 1 Passant Guardant over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
