- Opposite seasonsVoters put Cologne de Figuier in spring and The Blazing Mr Sam in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Cologne de Figuier is long lasting and moderate, The Blazing Mr Sam long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointThe Blazing Mr Sam first, then Cologne de Figuier over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
