- Light over deepDesire Silver brings citrus; Blend 30 brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus, leather, aromatic and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Desire Silver in summer and spring and Blend 30 in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Desire Silver is moderate on both, Blend 30 moderate and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBlend 30 first, then Desire Silver over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
