- Light over deepAnanda Tchai brings citrus and aromatic; Angélique Begum brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus, powdery, woody and amber run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Ananda Tchai is long lasting and strong, Angélique Begum moderate and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAngélique Begum first, then Ananda Tchai over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
