- Fresh on freshAlien Aqua Chic brings citrus; Noir Patchouli brings aromatic. Two fresh profiles stack into something brighter than either.
- A shared threadAromatic, woody and floral run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Noir Patchouli in fall and winter and Alien Aqua Chic in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Noir Patchouli is long lasting and strong, Alien Aqua Chic moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointNoir Patchouli first, then Alien Aqua Chic over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
