- Light over deepRaffinee brings aromatic; This is Him brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list incense, vanilla and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWarm spicy, amber, woody and vanilla run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: This is Him is moderate on both, Raffinee long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointThis is Him first, then Raffinee over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
