- A shared threadAromatic, woody and citrus run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: CH Men Prive is moderate on both, Essence Rare long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCH Men Prive first, then Essence Rare over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
