Virginia CedarWhy it might work
- Light over deepAramis 900 brings aromatic; Musc Impérial brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic, floral and musky run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Aramis 900 is long lasting and moderate, Musc Impérial moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAramis 900 first, then Musc Impérial over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
