How the pair leans

Why it might work

Light over deepNorrland brings aromatic and citrus; Hayba brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
A shared threadWoody, earthy and warm spicy run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Norrland is long lasting and moderate, Hayba 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 pointHayba first, then Norrland over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
