PatchouliWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenPuzzle No. 1 brings floral; LOULOU Joy brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list jasmine, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, citrus and amber run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Puzzle No. 1 is long lasting and strong, LOULOU Joy long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPuzzle No. 1 first, then LOULOU Joy over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
