- Light over deepRare Reef brings citrus, green and aromatic; Bleecker Street brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list violet leaf, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadGreen, aromatic, fruity and sweet run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rare Reef is long lasting and strong, Bleecker Street long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBleecker Street first, then Rare Reef over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
