- Light over deepUrban Blue brings aromatic; Montabaco brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list moss, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy and fresh run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Urban Blue is long lasting and moderate, Montabaco long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMontabaco first, then Urban Blue over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
