- Light over deepWindsor Tonic brings citrus and aromatic; The Uncompromising Sohan brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, warm spicy, aromatic and musky run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put The Uncompromising Sohan in winter and fall and Windsor Tonic in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: The Uncompromising Sohan is long lasting and strong, Windsor Tonic moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointThe Uncompromising Sohan first, then Windsor Tonic over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
