- Light over deepTruth For Men brings aromatic and green; Vetiver brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, woody, fresh spicy and warm spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Vetiver is long lasting and moderate, Truth For Men moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVetiver first, then Truth For Men over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
