MuskWhy it might work
- Light over deepSoleil d Issey brings citrus; Scarborough Fair brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadFresh runs through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Scarborough Fair is moderate on both, Soleil d Issey long lasting and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSoleil d Issey first, then Scarborough Fair over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
