How the pair leans

Why it might work
  • Light over deepRoyal Mayfair brings aromatic and citrus; Ore brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadWoody runs through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Ore in winter and fall and Royal Mayfair in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Ore is eternal and strong, Royal Mayfair long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
A starting pointOre first, then Royal Mayfair over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
