- Light over deepJoyous brings citrus and aromatic; Amberley Ombre Blue brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list leather, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWarm spicy, animalic, woody and leather run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Joyous is long lasting and strong, Amberley Ombre Blue long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAmberley Ombre Blue first, then Joyous over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
