- Light over deepGarden Lilies brings green; Silver Shade brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list white musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadSweet, powdery, musky and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Garden Lilies is moderate and intimate, Silver Shade moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSilver Shade first, then Garden Lilies over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
