- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: 212 VIP Club Edition is moderate on both, Mercurial Cashmere long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMercurial Cashmere first, then 212 VIP Club Edition over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
