Why it might work

Light over deepItasca brings aromatic; Sinbad brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
Notes in commonBoth list incense, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadAmber, balsamic, citrus and warm spicy run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Itasca is moderate on both, Sinbad 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 pointSinbad first, then Itasca over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
