- Notes in commonBoth list angelica and cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAmber runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Lys Mediterranee in spring and summer and Mandala in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Lys Mediterranee is long lasting and moderate, Mandala eternal and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMandala first, then Lys Mediterranee over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
