- Light over deepVetyver (1964) brings aromatic and citrus; Pretexte brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list aldehydes, bergamot, rose and iris and 4 more, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, aldehydic and warm spicy run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Pretexte in fall and winter and Vetyver (1964) in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Pretexte is moderate on both, Vetyver (1964) moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPretexte first, then Vetyver (1964) over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
