Why it might work

Notes in commonBoth list musk and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadWoody, leather, amber and powdery run through both.
Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Adjatay is long lasting and strong, Oud Shamash 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 pointOud Shamash first, then Adjatay over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
