Why it might work

Notes in commonBoth list patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadCitrus, woody, warm spicy and fresh spicy run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L de is long lasting and moderate, Akkad long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointAkkad first, then L de over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
