Why it might work

Light over deepThe Time brings aromatic, citrus and green; Jil brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, cedar and amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadWoody, aromatic, fresh spicy and powdery run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Jil is long lasting and intimate, The Time moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointJil first, then The Time over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
