- Opposite seasonsVoters put Caviar Bergamot in summer and Velvet Black Patchouli in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Caviar Bergamot is moderate on both, Velvet Black Patchouli moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVelvet Black Patchouli first, then Caviar Bergamot over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
