- Light over deepLotus Blossom & Water Lily brings citrus; Royal Pavillon brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list jasmine and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, powdery, floral and white floral run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Royal Pavillon is moderate on both, Lotus Blossom & Water Lily moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointRoyal Pavillon first, then Lotus Blossom & Water Lily over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
