- Light over deepColonia Sandalo Concentree brings citrus and aromatic; Carnal Flower brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot and amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, sweet, aromatic and citrus run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Carnal Flower is long lasting and strong, Colonia Sandalo Concentree long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCarnal Flower first, then Colonia Sandalo Concentree over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
