- Light over deepThe Time brings aromatic, citrus and green; Vert Empire brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, citrus, green and herbal run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: The Time is moderate on both, Vert Empire moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
What to watch
- An unusual mixGreen and amber are often kept apart. Try it on skin before committing.
A starting pointVert Empire first, then The Time over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
