PatchouliWhy it might work

- A shared threadWarm spicy, woody and aromatic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Concrete is moderate on both, Dover Street Market moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointConcrete first, then Dover Street Market over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
