- Light over deepThe Architects Club brings aromatic; A Grove brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic and fresh spicy run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put The Architects Club in fall and winter and A Grove in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: The Architects Club is moderate on both, A Grove moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointThe Architects Club first, then A Grove over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
