Why it might work
  • Light over deepMuthir brings citrus; Sahara Noir brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadWoody, amber and warm spicy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Muthir in spring and summer and Sahara Noir in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Muthir is long lasting and moderate, Sahara Noir long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
