Tonka BeanWhy it might work
- Light over deepPalais Jamais brings aromatic and citrus; Patchouly Eau de Parfum brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody and earthy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Palais Jamais is moderate on both, Patchouly Eau de Parfum moderate and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPatchouly Eau de Parfum first, then Palais Jamais over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
