- Light over deepPink Grapefruit brings citrus; Islay brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus, woody, powdery and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Pink Grapefruit in summer and Islay in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Pink Grapefruit is moderate on both, Islay eternal and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointIslay first, then Pink Grapefruit over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
