- Light over deepMarjan brings aromatic; Bois d'Ascese brings amber, woody and smoky. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, warm spicy, amber and balsamic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Marjan is long lasting and strong, Bois d'Ascese long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBois d'Ascese first, then Marjan over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
