- Light over deepLP No. 9 brings aromatic; Calvin Klein brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list carnation, rose, jasmine and amber and 1 more, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadFloral, woody and rose run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: LP No. 9 is long lasting and moderate, Calvin Klein long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCalvin Klein first, then LP No. 9 over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
