Why it might work

Light over deepArmoressence brings aromatic; Chai brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
A shared threadAromatic, woody and animalic run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Armoressence in fall and winter and Chai in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Armoressence is moderate on both, Chai 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 pointArmoressence first, then Chai over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
