- Light over deepSoul Of The Forest brings aromatic; No 5 Eau de Toilette brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic, fresh and earthy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Soul Of The Forest is moderate on both, No 5 Eau de Toilette moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSoul Of The Forest first, then No 5 Eau de Toilette over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
