- Light over deepDesire Blue brings citrus and aromatic; Pi Neo brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list mandarin orange and bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Desire Blue in summer and Pi Neo in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Desire Blue is moderate on both, Pi Neo moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPi Neo first, then Desire Blue over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
