How the pair leans

- Light over deepThé Amara brings green and citrus; Le Parfum Lumière brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus, woody and sweet run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Thé Amara is moderate on both, Le Parfum Lumière moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLe Parfum Lumière first, then Thé Amara over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
