- Light over deepSolid Black brings citrus; Mysterious Oud brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, rose, vanilla and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus, sweet, rose and woody run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for winter.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Solid Black is long lasting and strong, Mysterious Oud long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMysterious Oud first, then Solid Black over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
