- Light over deepCalm Lake brings aromatic; Tommy Citrus Brights brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Calm Lake in spring and Tommy Citrus Brights in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Calm Lake is very weak and enormous, Tommy Citrus Brights moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCalm Lake first, then Tommy Citrus Brights over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
