- Light over deepSoul Of The Forest brings aromatic; By the Fireplace brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, amber, warm spicy and balsamic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Soul Of The Forest is moderate on both, By the Fireplace moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBy the Fireplace first, then Soul Of The Forest over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
