- Light over deepAramis Black brings aromatic; Desert Eden brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic, balsamic and amber run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Aramis Black is moderate on both, Desert Eden moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointDesert Eden first, then Aramis Black over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
