StyraxWhy it might work
- Light over deepVie de Chateau brings green; Sultan Leather brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic and leather run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Vie de Chateau is long lasting and moderate, Sultan Leather very weak and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSultan Leather first, then Vie de Chateau over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
