Why it might work

Light over deep9.0 brings aromatic; Shisur brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
Notes in commonBoth list iris and cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadIris, aromatic, woody and powdery run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: 9.0 is moderate on both, Shisur long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointShisur first, then 9.0 over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
