- Light over deepSeduce brings green; Bal d'Afrique Absolu brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadSweet, citrus and fruity run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Seduce is weak and enormous, Bal d'Afrique Absolu long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBal d'Afrique Absolu first, then Seduce over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
