The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is White Patchouli, blue is Aridal. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Dry WoodWhy it might work
- Light over deepAridal brings aromatic; White Patchouli brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list jasmine and patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, patchouli, warm spicy and aromatic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: White Patchouli is long lasting and moderate, Aridal long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAridal first, then White Patchouli over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
