- Light over deepCalifornia Réverie brings citrus; Mood Indigo brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadFloral runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put California Réverie in summer and spring and Mood Indigo in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: California Réverie is moderate on both, Mood Indigo moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMood Indigo first, then California Réverie over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
