- A shared threadPowdery runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put 212 NYC Pills in spring and summer and L'Insomnuit in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: 212 NYC Pills is moderate on both, L'Insomnuit long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointL'Insomnuit first, then 212 NYC Pills over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
