- Light over deepExplorer Ultra Blue brings aromatic and citrus; Himalaya brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list ambergris, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, citrus, woody and amber run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Explorer Ultra Blue is moderate on both, Himalaya moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointHimalaya first, then Explorer Ultra Blue over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
