CedarWhy it might work
- Light over deepRakaan brings citrus; Eau de Vetyver 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 threadCitrus and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rakaan is long lasting and strong, Eau de Vetyver moderate and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEau de Vetyver first, then Rakaan over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
