- Light over deepBittersweet Oud brings citrus; Atuana brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadEarthy, woody, warm spicy and fresh spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bittersweet Oud is long lasting and moderate, Atuana moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAtuana first, then Bittersweet Oud over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
