- Light over deepInvictus brings citrus and aromatic; Paris – Édimbourg brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Invictus is moderate on both, Paris – Édimbourg moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointParis – Édimbourg first, then Invictus over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
