- Sweet meets spiceNew York Intense brings amber; Athena brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- Notes in commonBoth list rose, vanilla and cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadSweet, amber, fruity and aromatic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Athena is long lasting and strong, New York Intense long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAthena first, then New York Intense over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
