- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L'Etoile Mourante is long lasting and moderate, Insignia long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointL'Etoile Mourante first, then Insignia over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
