I would try a 3:1 ratio of lavender to patchouli. In my experience patchouli is strong enough to easily overpower lavender. Try this blend on a paper napkin or cotton ball and put it in a plastic bag or glass jar and seal for a few hours. You can use more or less patchouli, if the blend doesn't seem right.
 
I would agree with 3:1 as a starting point. Lavender fades more with time than patchouli, which is fine with me as I am a patch lover. But you may want to increase the lavender portion if you are going to age them for a long time.
