Why it might work

Light over deepDebonair brings citrus; Violaceous brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadFresh spicy, aromatic and woody run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Debonair is long lasting and enormous, Violaceous 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 pointViolaceous first, then Debonair over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
