AmberWhy it might work
- Light over deepWhore Red brings citrus; Ormonde Elixir brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadPowdery, woody and warm spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Whore Red is long lasting and strong, Ormonde Elixir long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointWhore Red first, then Ormonde Elixir over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
