- Light over deepGuapo brings citrus; Emerald Royals brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAmber, fresh spicy and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Emerald Royals in fall and winter and Guapo in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Emerald Royals is long lasting and strong, Guapo long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointGuapo first, then Emerald Royals over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
