- Light over deepClassique X L Eau brings citrus; By the Kaaba brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadFresh spicy, aromatic, powdery and white floral run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put By the Kaaba in winter and fall and Classique X L Eau in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: By the Kaaba is very weak and intimate, Classique X L Eau moderate and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBy the Kaaba first, then Classique X L Eau over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
