- Light over deepCH Men Africa brings citrus; Tempest brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list atlas cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, citrus, aromatic and amber run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: CH Men Africa is moderate on both, Tempest long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCH Men Africa first, then Tempest over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
