How the pair leans

MuskWhy it might work
- Light over deepEnsemble brings citrus; Rose Ardente brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadVanilla, sweet, woody and citrus run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rose Ardente is moderate on both, Ensemble eternal and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEnsemble first, then Rose Ardente over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
