- Light over deepBal d'Afrique brings aromatic; Signify brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, floral and powdery run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Signify is very weak and moderate, Bal d'Afrique moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSignify first, then Bal d'Afrique over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
