Try them together
Three pairings
The three highest pair scores among our checked bottles. Each score has a reason. Smell is personal; these rules are a starting point.
Initio
Paragon

Spray Paragon first (1 spray, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Crab Apple Blossom on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).
Byredo
Super Cedar
78/100Crab Apple Blossom's marine bergamot lasts longer over the quiet musk of Super Cedar, with woods in both.
Spray Super Cedar first (3 sprays, neck, chest and wrists), let it settle a minute, then Crab Apple Blossom on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).
Ex Nihilo
Santal Calling
78/100Crab Apple Blossom puts bright marine bergamot over the sandalwood in Santal Calling, which also adds musk.
