Woodsy NotesWhy it might work
- Light over deepEau de Vetyver brings aromatic and citrus; Aoud Cafe brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody and sweet run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Aoud Cafe is long lasting and moderate, Eau de Vetyver moderate and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAoud Cafe first, then Eau de Vetyver over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
