- Light over deepTo My Father brings aromatic; Faces of Francis brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic and leather run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: To My Father is moderate on both, Faces of Francis long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointFaces of Francis first, then To My Father over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
