How the pair leans

- A shared threadWoody runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Dark in winter and fall and Chance Eau Vive in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Dark is moderate on both, Chance Eau Vive moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointDark first, then Chance Eau Vive over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
