How the pair leans

- Light over deepAlcove brings aromatic and citrus; Kouros Fraicheur brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, fruity, fresh spicy and earthy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Kouros Fraicheur is long lasting and strong, Alcove long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointKouros Fraicheur first, then Alcove over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
