- Notes in commonBoth list patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put The Mandala in summer and Fortuitous Finley in spring and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: The Mandala is moderate on both, Fortuitous Finley moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointThe Mandala first, then Fortuitous Finley over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
