- Light over deepIntense Vetyver brings green and aromatic; Energy C Lime brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, woody and citrus run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Intense Vetyver in spring and fall and Energy C Lime in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Intense Vetyver is long lasting and moderate, Energy C Lime moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEnergy C Lime first, then Intense Vetyver over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
