LeatherWhy it might work
- Light over deepBitter Splash brings aromatic and citrus; Rock the Myrrh brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list cypress, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, leather and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Rock the Myrrh in fall and winter and Bitter Splash in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rock the Myrrh is long lasting and moderate, Bitter Splash long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointRock the Myrrh first, then Bitter Splash over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
