- Light over deepSpell 125 brings aromatic; Story of Your Life brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAmber, woody, balsamic and warm spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Spell 125 is long lasting and moderate, Story of Your Life moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointStory of Your Life first, then Spell 125 over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
