- Light over deepAria di Capri brings citrus and aromatic; Ouverture brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus, floral and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Aria di Capri in spring and summer and Ouverture in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Aria di Capri is moderate on both, Ouverture long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOuverture first, then Aria di Capri over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
