- Light over deepImagination brings citrus; Lignum Idealis brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadFresh spicy and amber run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Imagination in summer and spring and Lignum Idealis in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Imagination is long lasting and moderate, Lignum Idealis long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLignum Idealis first, then Imagination over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
