How the pair leans

- Light over deepComme d'Habitude brings citrus and aromatic; Beat Cafe brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadFresh spicy, aromatic and sweet run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Comme d'Habitude in spring and summer and Beat Cafe in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Comme d'Habitude is weak and moderate, Beat Cafe moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBeat Cafe first, then Comme d'Habitude over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
