- A shared threadGreen runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Narcotic Venus in spring and Black Afgano in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Narcotic Venus is long lasting and strong, Black Afgano eternal and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBlack Afgano first, then Narcotic Venus over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
