Woody NotesWhy it might work
- A shared threadWoody and aromatic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Mortel Noir is long lasting and moderate, Swiss Musk moderate and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSwiss Musk first, then Mortel Noir over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
