How the pair leans

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Manly, blue is Notes. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Why it might work
  • Light over deepNotes brings aromatic and citrus; Manly brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list oakmoss and tonka bean, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, sweet and earthy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Manly in winter and fall and Notes in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Manly is long lasting and moderate, Notes moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
A starting pointManly first, then Notes over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
