- Light over deepObsidian brings citrus; Madame Rochas Intense brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list aldehydes, bergamot and jasmine, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus, aldehydic and amber run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Madame Rochas Intense is long lasting and strong, Obsidian long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMadame Rochas Intense first, then Obsidian over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
