- Light over deepBlack Obsidian brings citrus and aromatic; Freedom for Him brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus, aromatic, fresh spicy and soft spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Black Obsidian is long lasting and strong, Freedom for Him moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointFreedom for Him first, then Black Obsidian over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
