Why it might work

Light over deepMarwa brings citrus; Qafiya 3 brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
A shared threadWoody, musky, warm spicy and amber run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Qafiya 3 is weak and moderate, Marwa moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointQafiya 3 first, then Marwa over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
