- Light over deepSparkling Tamarind brings citrus; Decade brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadFresh, woody, fresh spicy and aromatic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Decade is long lasting and strong, Sparkling Tamarind long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSparkling Tamarind first, then Decade over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
