How the pair leans

- Light over deepNina (1987) brings aromatic; Oud Seven brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, earthy and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Oud Seven in winter and fall and Nina (1987) in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Oud Seven is long lasting and strong, Nina (1987) long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOud Seven first, then Nina (1987) over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
