- Light over deepMediterranean Breeze brings citrus; Figuier Noir brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadSweet, powdery, woody and fruity run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Mediterranean Breeze is moderate on both, Figuier Noir long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMediterranean Breeze first, then Figuier Noir over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
