- Light over deepRock Rose brings aromatic; Hugo by Karim Rashid brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list lavender and patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy, lavender and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rock Rose is long lasting and moderate, Hugo by Karim Rashid weak and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointHugo by Karim Rashid first, then Rock Rose over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
