- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Molecule 01 + Patchouli is moderate on both, Vanilla Oud long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMolecule 01 + Patchouli first, then Vanilla Oud over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
