- Light over deepBeyond Paradise brings citrus; Amber Ylang Ylang Parfum brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadFresh spicy runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Beyond Paradise in summer and spring and Amber Ylang Ylang Parfum in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Beyond Paradise is moderate on both, Amber Ylang Ylang Parfum long lasting and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAmber Ylang Ylang Parfum first, then Beyond Paradise over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
