SpicesWhy it might work
- Light over deepBon Monsieur brings aromatic; Chypre-Siam brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list oakmoss and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, mossy, earthy and warm spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bon Monsieur is long lasting and moderate, Chypre-Siam long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointChypre-Siam first, then Bon Monsieur over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
