- Light over deepMillésime Impérial brings citrus; Imperial Iris Cologne brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, sea notes and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus, aromatic, powdery and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Millésime Impérial in summer and Imperial Iris Cologne in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Millésime Impérial is moderate on both, Imperial Iris Cologne long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointImperial Iris Cologne first, then Millésime Impérial over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
