The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Kyoto, blue is Soul Of The Forest. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Light over deepSoul Of The Forest brings aromatic; Kyoto brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list incense, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadEarthy, woody, aromatic and amber run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Kyoto is moderate on both, Soul Of The Forest moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointKyoto first, then Soul Of The Forest over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
