- Light over deepPerfection brings citrus and aromatic; Y Eau de Parfum brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus, aromatic, woody and fresh spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Perfection is moderate on both, Y Eau de Parfum long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointY Eau de Parfum first, then Perfection over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
