AmberWhy it might work
- Light over deepMolinard Homme I brings aromatic; Bois d'Ambre brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy and amber run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Molinard Homme I in spring and Bois d'Ambre in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Molinard Homme I is moderate on both, Bois d'Ambre moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMolinard Homme I first, then Bois d'Ambre over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
