- A shared threadWoody runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Bergamotto Positano in summer and spring and Malmaison in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bergamotto Positano is moderate on both, Malmaison moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMalmaison first, then Bergamotto Positano over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
