- Light over deepVibrant Hibiscus brings citrus; To My Father brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus, aromatic and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Vibrant Hibiscus is weak and moderate, To My Father moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointTo My Father first, then Vibrant Hibiscus over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
