Tonka BeanWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenAl Taif brings floral; Patchouly Eau de Parfum brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadAmber, balsamic and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Al Taif is long lasting and strong, Patchouly Eau de Parfum moderate and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPatchouly Eau de Parfum first, then Al Taif over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
