- Light over deepOrange Discrete brings citrus; Aqua Allegoria Forte Rosa Palissandro brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic and powdery run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Orange Discrete is weak and enormous, Aqua Allegoria Forte Rosa Palissandro moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAqua Allegoria Forte Rosa Palissandro first, then Orange Discrete over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
