- Light over deepCactus Azul brings green and aromatic; Fleur de Maté brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, fresh spicy and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Fleur de Maté in winter and fall and Cactus Azul in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Fleur de Maté is long lasting and moderate, Cactus Azul moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointFleur de Maté first, then Cactus Azul over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
