- Light over deepNavigator brings aromatic; Esprit De Noel brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list musk, tonka bean and amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, woody, citrus and amber run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Navigator in summer and spring and Esprit De Noel in winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Navigator is moderate on both, Esprit De Noel moderate and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEsprit De Noel first, then Navigator over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
