- Light over deepCostarela brings citrus and aromatic; Bois Oriental brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list virginia cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, warm spicy and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Bois Oriental in fall and Costarela in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bois Oriental is long lasting and moderate, Costarela moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBois Oriental first, then Costarela over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
