Why it might work
  • Light over deepUse Abuse brings citrus; Regal brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, powdery and floral run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Regal in fall and winter and Use Abuse in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Regal is long lasting and moderate, Use Abuse moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
