Why it might work
  • Light over deepKobe brings citrus; Racquets brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadCitrus, amber, aromatic and woody run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Kobe is long lasting and moderate, Racquets moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.

A starting pointRacquets first, then Kobe over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
