- Light over deepARA(GON) brings aromatic; Elysee Oud brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: ARA(GON) is long lasting and strong, Elysee Oud long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointElysee Oud first, then ARA(GON) over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
