How the pair leans

- Light over deepCapri brings citrus and aromatic; Violette Fumee brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Violette Fumee in fall and Capri in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Violette Fumee is moderate on both, Capri moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointViolette Fumee first, then Capri over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
