- Light over deepGarden Lilies brings green; L'Homme Eau d'Ete brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadGreen, vanilla, fresh and powdery run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Garden Lilies is moderate and intimate, L'Homme Eau d'Ete moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointL'Homme Eau d'Ete 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.
