SandalwoodWhy it might work
- Light over deepSoleil d Issey brings citrus; Sandous Blend brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadMusky, white floral and powdery run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Sandous Blend is long lasting and strong, Soleil d Issey long lasting and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSandous Blend first, then Soleil d Issey over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
