Why it might work

Light over deepIspazon brings citrus and aromatic; Layton brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
A shared threadCitrus, fresh spicy, aromatic and woody run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Ispazon in spring and Layton in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Ispazon is long lasting and moderate, Layton long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
