- Light over deepParagon brings aromatic; Iceni brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic, fresh spicy and sweet run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Paragon is long lasting and moderate, Iceni long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointIceni first, then Paragon over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
