- Light over deepZara Silver brings citrus and aromatic; In the City of Sin brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, rose, aromatic and citrus run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: In the City of Sin is moderate on both, Zara Silver moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointIn the City of Sin first, then Zara Silver over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
