- Light over deepMagnolia City brings aromatic and citrus; Plumes brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, floral and green run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Plumes is moderate on both, Magnolia City moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPlumes first, then Magnolia City over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
