IncenseWhy it might work
- Light over deepBoss Number One brings aromatic; Kouros Tattoo brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, musk and cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, woody, fresh spicy and powdery run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Boss Number One in fall and winter and Kouros Tattoo in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Boss Number One is long lasting and strong, Kouros Tattoo moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointKouros Tattoo first, then Boss Number One over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
