- Light over deepShelter Island brings citrus and aromatic; Bombay Bling! brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, white floral and warm spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Shelter Island is long lasting and moderate, Bombay Bling! moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBombay Bling! first, then Shelter Island over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
