- Light over deepFleur de Fleurs brings green; The Big Bad Cedar brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadPowdery, woody and musky run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Fleur de Fleurs in spring and The Big Bad Cedar in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Fleur de Fleurs is moderate on both, The Big Bad Cedar moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointThe Big Bad Cedar first, then Fleur de Fleurs over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
