- Light over deepDeclaration L Eau brings citrus; Obsidian brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus, fresh spicy and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Declaration L Eau in summer and Obsidian in spring and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Declaration L Eau is moderate on both, Obsidian long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointObsidian first, then Declaration L Eau over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
