- Light over deepSmoky Soul brings aromatic; Note Ambree brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody and floral run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Note Ambree is eternal and enormous, Smoky Soul long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointNote Ambree first, then Smoky Soul over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
