- Light over deepBitter Orange brings citrus; Pink Woods brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWhite floral, citrus, musky and sweet run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Bitter Orange in summer and Pink Woods in spring and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bitter Orange is weak and moderate, Pink Woods moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPink Woods first, then Bitter Orange over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
