- Light over deepPapilefiko brings aromatic; Tempest brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list lavender, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy, woody and amber run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Papilefiko is long lasting and strong, Tempest long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointTempest first, then Papilefiko over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
