- Light over deepMagie Noire Parfum brings green; Oud Ambroisie brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list honey, patchouli and cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, sweet and warm spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for winter.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Oud Ambroisie is long lasting and strong, Magie Noire Parfum eternal and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOud Ambroisie first, then Magie Noire Parfum over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
