- Light over deepObsidian brings citrus; Rose Ardente brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, amber and vanilla, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAmber, vanilla, sweet and citrus run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rose Ardente is moderate on both, Obsidian long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointRose Ardente first, then Obsidian over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
