- Light over deepRoyal Water Homme brings aromatic; Musk Black Vanilla brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, powdery and musky run through both.
A starting pointMusk Black Vanilla first, then Royal Water Homme over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
