- Light over deepChypre d'Orient brings citrus; Santal Umeshu brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list mandarin orange, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, powdery, aromatic and green run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Santal Umeshu is long lasting and moderate, Chypre d'Orient moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSantal Umeshu first, then Chypre d'Orient over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
