Tonka BeanWhy it might work
- Light over deepXeryus Rouge brings aromatic; Le Male Love Actually brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list cedar and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWarm spicy, woody, aromatic and fresh spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Xeryus Rouge is long lasting and strong, Le Male Love Actually moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLe Male Love Actually first, then Xeryus Rouge over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
