- Light over deepMandarina Corsica brings citrus; West Loop brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list cinnamon and tonka bean, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadSweet, warm spicy, vanilla and cinnamon run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: West Loop is long lasting and moderate, Mandarina Corsica moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointWest Loop first, then Mandarina Corsica over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
