PatchouliWhy it might work
- Light over deepBlack Citrus brings aromatic and citrus; Bois Mystique brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list cardamom, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, warm spicy, fresh spicy and aromatic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bois Mystique is moderate on both, Black Citrus moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBois Mystique first, then Black Citrus over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
