- Light over deepCaban brings aromatic; Paradigme Le Parfum brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAmber, balsamic, vanilla and woody run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Paradigme Le Parfum is long lasting and strong, Caban moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCaban first, then Paradigme Le Parfum over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
