PatchouliWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenSuede brings floral; Oud Romancea brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list mandarin orange, gardenia, jasmine and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWhite floral, woody and citrus run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Suede is moderate and strong, Oud Romancea long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOud Romancea first, then Suede over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
