- A shared threadAmber, warm spicy, citrus and fresh spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Zafferano Ambrosia is long lasting and strong, Samba Skin Man long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSamba Skin Man first, then Zafferano Ambrosia over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
