- Light over deepGypsy Water Eau de Cologne brings aromatic and citrus; Carine brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, warm spicy and balsamic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Carine is moderate on both, Gypsy Water Eau de Cologne weak and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCarine first, then Gypsy Water Eau de Cologne over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
