- Flowers over greenThe Mandala brings floral; D G Masculine brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot and vetiver, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, citrus, fresh spicy and woody run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: D G Masculine is moderate on both, The Mandala moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointThe Mandala first, then D G Masculine over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
