Woody NotesWhy it might work
- Light over deepNarcos'is brings aromatic; Mandarin Neroli brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list mandarin orange and amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWarm spicy, amber and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Narcos'is is long lasting and strong, Mandarin Neroli moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMandarin Neroli first, then Narcos'is over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
