- Light over deepSublime Eau de Parfum brings citrus; Savoy Steam Eau de Cologne brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic and citrus run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Savoy Steam Eau de Cologne is moderate on both, Sublime Eau de Parfum moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSublime Eau de Parfum first, then Savoy Steam Eau de Cologne over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
