- Light over deepSauvage brings citrus; American Amber brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWarm spicy, woody, musky and amber run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put American Amber in winter and Sauvage in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: American Amber is eternal and moderate, Sauvage long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAmerican Amber first, then Sauvage over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
