How the pair leans

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is III, blue is L'Eau de L'Eau. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Why it might work

Light over deepL'Eau de L'Eau brings citrus; III brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
Notes in commonBoth list patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy, citrus and warm spicy run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: III is long lasting and moderate, L'Eau de L'Eau moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.

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

A starting pointIII first, then L'Eau de L'Eau over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
