How the pair leans

Why it might work

Light over deepVery brings citrus; Yuja Cologne brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
A shared threadCitrus, fresh and sweet run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Very is moderate and intimate, Yuja Cologne moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointVery first, then Yuja Cologne over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
