The blend
How the pair leans

- Light over deepAfternoon Light brings citrus; Aura Aware brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadFloral runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Afternoon Light in spring and Aura Aware in winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Afternoon Light is weak and moderate, Aura Aware very weak and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAura Aware first, then Afternoon Light over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
