- Light over deepCostarela brings citrus and aromatic; A Une Madone brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAmber, woody, musky and warm spicy run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Costarela in summer and A Une Madone in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Costarela is moderate on both, A Une Madone long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointA Une Madone first, then Costarela over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
