- Light over deepExquisite brings citrus; Crazy Basil brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list woody notes, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody and citrus run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Exquisite in fall and winter and Crazy Basil in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Exquisite is very weak and moderate, Crazy Basil moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointExquisite first, then Crazy Basil over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
