Guaiac WoodWhy it might work
- Light over deepPhiltre Ceylan brings green and aromatic; Gris Montaigne brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, citrus and warm spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Gris Montaigne is long lasting and moderate, Philtre Ceylan long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointGris Montaigne first, then Philtre Ceylan over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
