- Light over deepLautus brings citrus and aromatic; Mechant Loup brings woody. 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 and sweet run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Mechant Loup is moderate on both, Lautus long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMechant Loup first, then Lautus over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
