- Light over deepEau de New York brings citrus and green; Magie Noire brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, jasmine, oakmoss and vetiver and 1 more, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadGreen, aromatic and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Eau de New York in summer and spring and Magie Noire in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Eau de New York is long lasting and strong, Magie Noire eternal and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMagie Noire first, then Eau de New York over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
