- Light over deepNoir Eau de Toilette brings citrus; Byzantine Amber brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWarm spicy and amber run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Noir Eau de Toilette is moderate on both, Byzantine Amber long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointByzantine Amber first, then Noir Eau de Toilette over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
