Woody, mineral and powdery meets woody, earthy and aromatic. They share one accord and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans

- Light over deepIncenso brings aromatic; XXX Cyprium brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody runs through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: XXX Cyprium is moderate on both, Incenso moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointIncenso first, then XXX Cyprium over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
