- Light over deepDesire Blue brings citrus and aromatic; Oud Éclat brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list amber and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadSweet, aromatic, floral and amber run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Oud Éclat in winter and fall and Desire Blue in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Oud Éclat is long lasting and moderate, Desire Blue moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOud Éclat first, then Desire Blue over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
