- Notes in commonBoth list suede, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, leather and warm spicy run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Moonlight Patchouli in fall and winter and Montabaco Flor in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Moonlight Patchouli is moderate on both, Montabaco Flor moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMoonlight Patchouli first, then Montabaco Flor over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
