Notes in commonBoth list patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadWoody, aromatic, fresh spicy and patchouli run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Levantium is moderate on both, Hinoki long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointLevantium first, then Hinoki over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
