- Light over deepVelvet Bergamot brings citrus and aromatic; Red Temptation Elixir Parfum brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, citrus, aromatic and white floral run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Red Temptation Elixir Parfum in winter and fall and Velvet Bergamot in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Red Temptation Elixir Parfum is long lasting and strong, Velvet Bergamot long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointRed Temptation Elixir Parfum first, then Velvet Bergamot over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
