- Light over deepCuir Mandarine brings citrus; Baudelaire brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list pepper, patchouli, leather and amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadPatchouli, leather, warm spicy and amber run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Cuir Mandarine is long lasting and moderate, Baudelaire long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCuir Mandarine first, then Baudelaire over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
