- Light over deepL'Instant d'Un Ete brings citrus; Night Sounds brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadFloral and amber run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put L'Instant d'Un Ete in summer and spring and Night Sounds in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L'Instant d'Un Ete is long lasting and strong, Night Sounds moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointNight Sounds first, then L'Instant d'Un Ete over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
