Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadWoody, green, floral and powdery run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Ormolu is moderate and intimate, 754 moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointOrmolu first, then 754 over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
