- Light over deepAlcove brings aromatic and citrus; Songe pour Lui brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, citrus, fresh spicy and powdery run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Songe pour Lui is moderate on both, Alcove long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSonge pour Lui first, then Alcove over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
