- Light over deepOrmonde Elixir brings aromatic; Macaque Yuzu Edition brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic, warm spicy and green run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Macaque Yuzu Edition is moderate on both, Ormonde Elixir long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOrmonde Elixir first, then Macaque Yuzu Edition over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
