- Light over deepAfrican Leather brings aromatic; Amyris Homme brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWarm spicy, aromatic, fresh spicy and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put African Leather in fall and winter and Amyris Homme in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: African Leather is long lasting and moderate, Amyris Homme moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAfrican Leather first, then Amyris Homme over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
