Woody NotesWhy it might work
- Light over deepIrish Leather brings aromatic; Rue de la Paix brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list leather, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy and woody run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Irish Leather is long lasting and moderate, Rue de la Paix moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointIrish Leather first, then Rue de la Paix over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
