PatchouliWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenNefs brings floral; Alia Edition 2018 brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list rose, vanilla, amber and cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, rose and sweet run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for winter.
What to watch
- Two loud onesBoth are voted strong projectors (Nefs: eternal and strong; Alia Edition 2018: moderate and enormous). Go light on both.
A starting pointNefs first, then Alia Edition 2018 over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
