Why it might work
  • Light over deepPerseus brings citrus and aromatic; Red Wood brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, amber and fresh spicy run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Red Wood is moderate on both, Perseus long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
A starting pointRed Wood first, then Perseus over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
