- Light over deepMetal Redux brings citrus; St Vetyver brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus, aromatic and warm spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Metal Redux is long lasting and strong, St Vetyver moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSt Vetyver first, then Metal Redux over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
