How the pair leans

- Light over deepGingembre brings citrus and aromatic; Oriental Mint brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic and fresh spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Oriental Mint is moderate on both, Gingembre moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOriental Mint first, then Gingembre over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
