- Flowers over greenFleur de Patchouli brings floral; Poise brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadWoody and rose run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Fleur de Patchouli in fall and spring and Poise in winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Fleur de Patchouli is moderate on both, Poise moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPoise first, then Fleur de Patchouli over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
