- Light over deepTotem Orange brings citrus and aromatic; Rose Ember brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody and earthy run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Rose Ember in spring and winter and Totem Orange in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rose Ember is moderate on both, Totem Orange moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointRose Ember first, then Totem Orange over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
