- Light over deepTobacco Reserve brings aromatic; Aramis Life brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic and fresh spicy run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Aramis Life in spring and summer and Tobacco Reserve in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Aramis Life is moderate on both, Tobacco Reserve long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointTobacco Reserve first, then Aramis Life over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
