- Light over deepChypre du Nord brings citrus; Cuir Vicuna brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot and orange, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus, woody, amber and earthy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Chypre du Nord is long lasting and strong, Cuir Vicuna eternal and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointChypre du Nord first, then Cuir Vicuna over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
