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