- Light over deepSerpentine brings green; Vetyver (1964) brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list aldehydes, cedar and labdanum, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadGreen, aldehydic and aromatic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Serpentine is moderate and intimate, Vetyver (1964) moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVetyver (1964) first, then Serpentine over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
