- Light over deepRule #2 Enigmatic brings citrus; VII brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadPowdery, woody, amber and musky run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rule #2 Enigmatic is long lasting and moderate, VII long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVII first, then Rule #2 Enigmatic over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
