- Light over deepFlowerbomb Nectar brings aromatic; Sensuous brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAmber, warm spicy, white floral and sweet run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Sensuous is moderate on both, Flowerbomb Nectar long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSensuous first, then Flowerbomb Nectar over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
