PatchouliWhy it might work
- Light over deepAuslese brings citrus; Samba Sport Man brings amber. 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 threadMusky runs through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Auslese is long lasting and enormous, Samba Sport Man moderate and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAuslese first, then Samba Sport Man over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
