- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Vetiver Pour Elle is moderate on both, Soul Of The Forest moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSoul Of The Forest first, then Vetiver Pour Elle over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
