- Light over deepOrange Sanguine brings citrus and aromatic; L Imperatrice Royale brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody and fresh spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L Imperatrice Royale is moderate on both, Orange Sanguine moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointL Imperatrice Royale first, then Orange Sanguine over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
