- Light over deepValentino Gold brings citrus; Queen of The Night brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list cinnamon and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWarm spicy, woody and cinnamon run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Valentino Gold is moderate and strong, Queen of The Night long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointQueen of The Night first, then Valentino Gold over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
