- Light over deepMusk Cologne brings citrus; Rose & Dragon brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadSweet, woody and floral run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Rose & Dragon in fall and winter and Musk Cologne in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rose & Dragon is long lasting and moderate, Musk Cologne long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointRose & Dragon first, then Musk Cologne over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
