- Light over deepNo. XIV Ambre brings citrus; Humus brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: No. XIV Ambre is moderate on both, Humus moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointNo. XIV Ambre first, then Humus over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
