- Light over deep1899 Hemingway brings aromatic; Myriad brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, woody, citrus and amber run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put 1899 Hemingway in fall and Myriad in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: 1899 Hemingway is moderate on both, Myriad moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting point1899 Hemingway first, then Myriad over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
