- Light over deepBois Tabac Virginia brings aromatic; Oriental Sans Souci brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list ylang-ylang, patchouli and ambergris, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic, earthy and patchouli run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bois Tabac Virginia is moderate on both, Oriental Sans Souci moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBois Tabac Virginia first, then Oriental Sans Souci over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
