- Light over deepBergamot Brother brings citrus; Star Smoked Amber brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody and powdery run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Star Smoked Amber in fall and winter and Bergamot Brother in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Star Smoked Amber is moderate on both, Bergamot Brother weak and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointStar Smoked Amber first, then Bergamot Brother over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
