- Light over deepEscentric 03 brings citrus; Escentric 05 brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list iris, jasmine and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, fresh spicy, citrus and aromatic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Escentric 03 is moderate on both, Escentric 05 moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEscentric 05 first, then Escentric 03 over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
