PatchouliWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenIlha do Mel brings floral; Gary's Den brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list iris and vanilla, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadPowdery and iris run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Ilha do Mel in spring and summer and Gary's Den in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Ilha do Mel is moderate on both, Gary's Den long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointGary's Den first, then Ilha do Mel over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
