- Light over deepFiore d Ulivo brings citrus and aromatic; Lemon Sorbet brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus, aromatic and fresh spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Lemon Sorbet is moderate on both, Fiore d Ulivo moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointFiore d Ulivo first, then Lemon Sorbet over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
