- Opposite seasonsVoters put No. XIV Ambre in fall and Versus in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: No. XIV Ambre is moderate on both, Versus moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointNo. XIV Ambre first, then Versus over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
