- Light over deepPotion Blue Cadet brings citrus; MALVS brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put MALVS in fall and winter and Potion Blue Cadet in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: MALVS is moderate on both, Potion Blue Cadet moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMALVS first, then Potion Blue Cadet over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
