- Sweet meets spiceMandala brings amber; Madeleine Impériale brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWarm spicy, woody and balsamic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Madeleine Impériale is long lasting and strong, Mandala eternal and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMadeleine Impériale first, then Mandala over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
