- Light over deepBergamot & Lavender brings aromatic; Samba Natural Man brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, woody and citrus run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bergamot & Lavender is weak and moderate, Samba Natural Man moderate and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSamba Natural Man first, then Bergamot & Lavender over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
