- Light over deepRoyal Mayfair brings aromatic and citrus; Pontevecchio W Exceptional Edition brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, citrus and rose run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Pontevecchio W Exceptional Edition is moderate on both, Royal Mayfair long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPontevecchio W Exceptional Edition first, then Royal Mayfair over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
