- Light over deepInvictus brings citrus and aromatic; Chandigarh Express brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list mandarin orange, jasmine and patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, woody, citrus and amber run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Chandigarh Express in fall and winter and Invictus in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Chandigarh Express is long lasting and moderate, Invictus moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointChandigarh Express first, then Invictus over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
