- Light over deepCatch Me...L'Eau brings citrus and green; Javanese Patchouli brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus, soft spicy and aromatic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Javanese Patchouli is long lasting and moderate, Catch Me...L'Eau moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointJavanese Patchouli first, then Catch Me...L'Eau over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
