- Light over deepDefy Eau de Parfum brings citrus and aromatic; Aphélie brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadGreen, woody, aromatic and earthy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Aphélie is moderate on both, Defy Eau de Parfum moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointDefy Eau de Parfum first, then Aphélie over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
