- Light over deepArmani Code Colonia brings citrus; Nuances brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot and heliotrope, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus, amber, vanilla and aromatic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Armani Code Colonia is moderate on both, Nuances long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointNuances first, then Armani Code Colonia over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
