What to watch
- Two loud onesBoth are voted strong projectors (Black Afgano: eternal and strong; Myths Man: eternal and strong). Go light on both.
A starting pointBlack Afgano first, then Myths Man over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
