- Light over deepAmbroisé brings citrus; Opus XII Rose Incense brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list cedar and vanilla, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadFloral, powdery, woody and amber run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Ambroisé is long lasting and enormous, Opus XII Rose Incense long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOpus XII Rose Incense first, then Ambroisé over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
