LeatherWhy it might work
- Light over deepGinseng Biloba brings green and aromatic; Bel Ami brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Ginseng Biloba in spring and summer and Bel Ami in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Ginseng Biloba is moderate on both, Bel Ami long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBel Ami first, then Ginseng Biloba over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
