PatchouliWhy it might work
- Light over deepPaco brings citrus and aromatic; Musk Black Vanilla brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody and powdery run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Paco in summer and spring and Musk Black Vanilla in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Paco is moderate on both, Musk Black Vanilla long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMusk Black Vanilla first, then Paco over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
