- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Pleasures Gwyneth Paltrow Limited Edition is moderate and enormous, Amber Ylang Ylang Parfum long lasting and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAmber Ylang Ylang Parfum first, then Pleasures Gwyneth Paltrow Limited Edition over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
