- Fresh on freshPolo Explorer brings citrus; PAST LOVERS brings musky. Two fresh profiles stack into something brighter than either.
- A shared threadSoft spicy, aromatic and powdery run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: PAST LOVERS is long lasting and moderate, Polo Explorer moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPolo Explorer first, then PAST LOVERS over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
