- Light over deepBlanc Polychrome brings citrus and aromatic; Larmes du Désert brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic and amber run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Blanc Polychrome in summer and Larmes du Désert in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Blanc Polychrome is moderate on both, Larmes du Désert long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLarmes du Désert first, then Blanc Polychrome over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
