- Light over deepBold As Love brings aromatic; Pure Poison brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody and citrus run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bold As Love is long lasting and strong, Pure Poison long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPure Poison first, then Bold As Love over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
