How the pair leans

LeatherWhy it might work
- Light over deepExplorer Ultra Blue brings aromatic and citrus; Oasis Dawn brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, fruity, sweet and citrus run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Oasis Dawn in spring and fall and Explorer Ultra Blue in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Oasis Dawn is moderate on both, Explorer Ultra Blue moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOasis Dawn first, then Explorer Ultra Blue over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
