- Light over deepAcqua di Gio Elixir brings citrus; Rain Forest brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus, woody, aromatic and earthy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Acqua di Gio Elixir is long lasting and moderate, Rain Forest long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointRain Forest first, then Acqua di Gio Elixir over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
