OudWhy it might work
- Light over deepAlpha Man brings aromatic and citrus; Zeus brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, sandalwood, tonka bean and patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, citrus, warm spicy and patchouli run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Alpha Man is long lasting and moderate, Zeus long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointZeus first, then Alpha Man over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
