How the pair leans

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Patchouli, blue is Myths Man. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Why it might work

Light over deepMyths Man brings aromatic; Patchouli brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
A shared threadWoody and earthy run through both.
Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Patchouli is moderate on both, Myths Man eternal and strong, so neither should bury the other.

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

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