- Light over deepInsense Ultramarine brings aromatic and green; Umbra brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy, woody and warm spicy run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Umbra in fall and Insense Ultramarine in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Umbra is moderate on both, Insense Ultramarine moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointUmbra first, then Insense Ultramarine over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
