The blend
How the pair leans

- Light over deepMolinard Homme III brings aromatic; Chapter 5 brings woody and smoky. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Chapter 5 in winter and fall and Molinard Homme III in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Chapter 5 is long lasting and moderate, Molinard Homme III moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointChapter 5 first, then Molinard Homme III over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
