- Light over deepLittle Bianca brings citrus and aromatic; The Blazing Mr Sam brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, fresh spicy and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put The Blazing Mr Sam in fall and winter and Little Bianca in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: The Blazing Mr Sam is long lasting and moderate, Little Bianca moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointThe Blazing Mr Sam first, then Little Bianca over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
