- Flowers over greenÉclat d'Arpège Sheer brings floral; Apple Brandy brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadMusky and powdery run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Éclat d'Arpège Sheer in spring and summer and Apple Brandy in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Éclat d'Arpège Sheer is moderate on both, Apple Brandy moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointApple Brandy first, then Éclat d'Arpège Sheer over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
