Notes in commonBoth list orange blossom, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadPowdery, woody, white floral and citrus run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Pasticcio is long lasting and strong, Contralto long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointPasticcio first, then Contralto over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
