- Light over deepBoutonniere No. 7 brings aromatic; Anfas Oud brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadEarthy and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Boutonniere No. 7 in spring and Anfas Oud in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Boutonniere No. 7 is moderate on both, Anfas Oud eternal and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAnfas Oud first, then Boutonniere No. 7 over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
