- Light over deepMusk Therapy brings citrus; Paragon brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus, powdery, fruity and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Musk Therapy is long lasting and moderate, Paragon long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMusk Therapy first, then Paragon over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
