- Light over deepSérénade brings citrus and aromatic; Ormonde Elixir brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list vetiver, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Sérénade in summer and spring and Ormonde Elixir in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Sérénade is long lasting and strong, Ormonde Elixir long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOrmonde Elixir first, then Sérénade over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
