- Light over deepLavandula brings aromatic; Eaux de Caron Pure brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadFresh spicy and powdery run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Lavandula is moderate on both, Eaux de Caron Pure moderate and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEaux de Caron Pure first, then Lavandula over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
