- Light over deepNo 89 brings citrus and aromatic; Citta di Kyoto brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list ylang-ylang, bergamot, orange and rose and 4 more, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, powdery, floral and fresh spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Citta di Kyoto is moderate on both, No 89 moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCitta di Kyoto first, then No 89 over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
