Woody NotesWhy it might work
- Light over deepNuit d Issey Bleu Astral brings citrus; Ciel Pour Homme brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic and citrus run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Ciel Pour Homme is moderate on both, Nuit d Issey Bleu Astral moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointNuit d Issey Bleu Astral first, then Ciel Pour Homme over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
