- Light over deepLuna brings citrus; Samba Skin Man brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list amber and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, warm spicy, citrus and powdery run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Samba Skin Man is long lasting and moderate, Luna long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSamba Skin Man first, then Luna over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
