- Opposite seasonsVoters put Warm Bulb in fall and winter and Blackberry & Bay Cologne in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Warm Bulb is moderate on both, Blackberry & Bay Cologne moderate and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointWarm Bulb first, then Blackberry & Bay Cologne over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
