The blend

How the pair leans

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Sun Song, blue is Silvanus. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Why it might work

Light over deepSun Song brings citrus; Silvanus brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
A shared threadWhite floral and animalic run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Sun Song is eternal and enormous, Silvanus long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointSilvanus first, then Sun Song over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
