CedarWhy it might work
- Light over deepBête Humaine brings aromatic; Sancti brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list labdanum, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic and balsamic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bête Humaine is long lasting and moderate, Sancti moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBête Humaine first, then Sancti over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
