- Light over deepCreme de la Creme brings aromatic; Oud Zhen brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, powdery, warm spicy and amber run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Creme de la Creme is long lasting and strong, Oud Zhen eternal and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOud Zhen first, then Creme de la Creme over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
