- Light over deepMontabaco Flor brings aromatic and citrus; Russian Oud brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, musky, amber and warm spicy run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Montabaco Flor in spring and Russian Oud in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Montabaco Flor is moderate on both, Russian Oud long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointRussian Oud first, then Montabaco Flor over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
