MuskWhy it might work
- Light over deepHorizon brings aromatic; James brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list patchouli and vetiver, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic, citrus and warm spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Horizon is moderate on both, James moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointJames first, then Horizon over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
