Why it might work

Light over deepEshal brings citrus; Yuja Cologne brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
A shared threadCitrus, green and woody run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Eshal is long lasting and moderate, 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 pointEshal 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.
