- Light over deepThe Lotus Flower and the King Dragon brings citrus; Oligarch brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus, fresh spicy and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put The Lotus Flower and the King Dragon in fall and Oligarch in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: The Lotus Flower and the King Dragon is very weak and enormous, Oligarch long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointThe Lotus Flower and the King Dragon first, then Oligarch over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
