- Light over deepRussian Musk brings aromatic and citrus; Suffolk Lavender brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list pine tree, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, musky, woody and fresh spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Suffolk Lavender is long lasting and strong, Russian Musk eternal and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSuffolk Lavender first, then Russian Musk over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
