How to layer them

Apply the smoother or more transparent fragrance first, then add the stronger scent in smaller quantity. Let the base layer settle for 5–10 minutes.

Why it can work

Oud Wood brings woody oud, while Baccarat Rouge 540 adds amber woody sweet. The combination works best when one scent acts as the main character and the other supports depth, warmth or diffusion.
