Why it might work
  • Light over deepOTO brings aromatic; ARC brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadWoody, aromatic, herbal and fresh spicy run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: OTO is long lasting and strong, ARC long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
