How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Santal Boisé, blue is Royal Ceylan. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Light over deepRoyal Ceylan brings citrus and aromatic; Santal Boisé brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Santal Boisé in fall and winter and Royal Ceylan in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Santal Boisé is long lasting and strong, Royal Ceylan long lasting and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSantal Boisé first, then Royal Ceylan over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
