- Light over deepY Eau de Toilette brings aromatic; Pour Une Femme de brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus, amber and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Y Eau de Toilette in summer and spring and Pour Une Femme de in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Y Eau de Toilette is moderate on both, Pour Une Femme de moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPour Une Femme de first, then Y Eau de Toilette over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
