- Light over deepSel Santal brings citrus; Ocean Noir Dive brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, citrus, aromatic and fresh spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Sel Santal is moderate on both, Ocean Noir Dive moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOcean Noir Dive first, then Sel Santal over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
