- Light over deepIkat Rouge brings citrus; Very Sexy Summer brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, powdery and warm spicy run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Very Sexy Summer in summer and spring and Ikat Rouge in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Very Sexy Summer is moderate on both, Ikat Rouge long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointIkat Rouge first, then Very Sexy Summer over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
