Why it might work

Light over deepAmber Cologne brings citrus; Nefer brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
Notes in commonBoth list cardamom and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadAmber, aromatic and fresh spicy run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Nefer in fall and winter and Amber Cologne in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Nefer is long lasting and moderate, Amber Cologne moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
