- Light over deepExtract of Limes brings citrus, aromatic and green; Legend Blue brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, green and fresh spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Extract of Limes is very weak and intimate, Legend Blue moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLegend Blue first, then Extract of Limes over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
