- Light over deepOsmanthus Elixir brings citrus and aromatic; Il Etait une Nuit brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadFruity, powdery and musky run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Il Etait une Nuit in winter and Osmanthus Elixir in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Il Etait une Nuit is long lasting and strong, Osmanthus Elixir moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointIl Etait une Nuit first, then Osmanthus Elixir over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
