- Light over deepChinese Tobacco brings citrus; Rainbow Bar brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, cedar and vetiver, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, citrus, aromatic and fresh spicy run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Chinese Tobacco in fall and winter and Rainbow Bar in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Chinese Tobacco is moderate on both, Rainbow Bar moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointChinese Tobacco first, then Rainbow Bar over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
