- Light over deepCravache Eau de Parfum brings citrus and aromatic; Encounter brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list patchouli and jasmine, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWarm spicy, woody, fresh spicy and citrus run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Encounter is moderate on both, Cravache Eau de Parfum moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEncounter first, then Cravache Eau de Parfum over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
