- Light over deepAcqua di Sicilia brings citrus and aromatic; Frangipane brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadFresh spicy, woody and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Frangipane in fall and Acqua di Sicilia in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Frangipane is long lasting and moderate, Acqua di Sicilia moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointFrangipane first, then Acqua di Sicilia over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
