How the pair leans

- Light over deepLemon Tart brings citrus; Palissandre Night brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadPowdery and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Lemon Tart in summer and Palissandre Night in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Lemon Tart is moderate and enormous, Palissandre Night long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPalissandre Night first, then Lemon Tart over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
