Why it might work
  • Light over deepNegus brings citrus; Formosa brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadFresh spicy, citrus, warm spicy and woody run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Negus in fall and winter and Formosa in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Negus is long lasting and moderate, Formosa moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.

A starting pointNegus first, then Formosa over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
